Why would separation from God and His way entail this world?
Because when people rejected God, they were expelled to this world.
Therefore Yahweh God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
Gen. 3:23
It is not necessary to know evil for good life. Knowing evil means you get to know painful things.

But why this world, rather than some other?

Probably because this was the best for the purpose.
