We'll never be able to answer these ultimate "why" questions to our satisfaction from where we're standing. Our third density incarnative experience is instrumental, and it makes no sense to hold such an impossibly mindblowing, infinitely nuanced intelligent totality to the instrument's standard.
I think the emotional component -- the sense that maybe oneness is lonely enough to have caused the drama of existence we're in, and that we're heading back to a lonely oneness -- is ripe for examination. Ultimately, loneliness is a real experience that exists within the unified whole, not something we properly "overcome". Perhaps in oneness we experience loneliness from a broader perspective, or perhaps oneness is lonely. But the task is to accept that, not to fight it, and that conflicts with every human, creaturely impulse we have.
Just another reason to resist the temptation to "figure out" larger reality in some satisfying, final manner.
I definitely think a huge part of finding happiness is to understand how to be happy with your own loneliness. Once you realise you always have been alone and succeeded in having fun interacting with other selves, what is there to fear from loneliness anymore?
