Along the way of your discussion, you forgot that Jesus is God's only begotten Son, as not being created, but rather was "brought forth" (begotten) of/by the Spirit of God, who is and always will be "a spirit". Therefore, Jesus in His preincarnate state, was "a spirit" also, UNTIL He was SENT By God to be made to be flesh, in the likeness of man, but also as "the express image of God the Father."The person who became known as Jesus Christ did not begin life here on earth. He himself spoke of his prehuman heavenly life. (Joh 3:13; 6:38, 62; 8:23, 42, 58) John 1:1, 2 gives the heavenly name of the one who became Jesus, saying: “In the beginning the Word [Gr., Loʹgos] was, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god [“was divine,” AT; Mo; or “of divine being,” Böhmer; Stage (both German)]. This one was in the beginning with God.” Since Jehovah is eternal and had no beginning (Ps 90:2; Re 15:3), the Word’s being with God from “the beginning” must here refer to the beginning of Jehovah’s creative works. This is confirmed by other texts identifying Jesus as “the firstborn of all creation,” “the beginning of the creation by God.” (Col 1:15; Re 1:1; 3:14) Thus the Scriptures identify the Word (Jesus in his prehuman existence) as God’s first creation, his firstborn Son.
That Jehovah was truly the Father or Life-Giver to this firstborn Son and, hence, that this Son was actually a creature of God is evident from Jesus’ own statements. He pointed to God as the Source of his life, saying, “I live because of the Father.” According to the context, this meant that his life resulted from or was caused by his Father, even as the gaining of life by dying men would result from their faith in Jesus’ ransom sacrifice.—Joh 6:56, 57.
Jesus explains: “You are from the realms below; I am from the realms above. You are from this world; I am not from this world.”—John 8:21-23.
Jesus is referring to his prehuman existence in heaven and to his being the promised Messiah, or Christ, whom these religious leaders should be expecting.
So Jesus is part of creation he just isn't part of the physical creation(the universe where the stars and planet earth exist) He's from where the Angels exist.
Ever since His physical Birth (without a human father), His death, resurrection into immortality, and His Ascension to be with the Father,
He is and shall remain to be BOTH God and man, the Mediator between us and God the Father, for our salvation and redemption.
