1. It's a celebration of freedom and a recognition of the evils of slavery

It's not "a confirmation of how much he loves" us. God loving us generally strikes me as more of a Christian than a Jewish concept.

If you look at our history, the Jewish take is that god seems to love pissing all over us.

while the exodus story no doubt isn't 100% historically accurate, it's enough to just recognize that we were slaves at some point in the history of our people and to always remain grateful for our freedom and to have sympathy for those still enslaved.
