First, there were sacrifices for minor infractions,which did not atone, but reserved judgement. There were thank you sacrifices, sacrifices for child birth or marriage, there were sacrifices for the poor. Not all were about sin.So you're saying G-d told people to bring sacrifices that were totally not required because they didn't do anything anyway? He filled pages upon pages with them, who can do them, how to do them, who can eat what, just to tell people that they're actually worthless? Yeah no.
The only complete remission of sin came on the day of atonement, where every Jew was to remember and think about every sin they committed during the year, every one, and the sacrifice on that day removed all the sins of the people, and the high priest for the only time in a year entered the most holy place, and sprinkled the blood of the sacrifice on the alter for the atonement of all sin.
This was the biggest deal of all the sacrifices and temple services.
