A:The question assumes that the story of the Garden of Eden is literally true and that, had Adam and Eve not sinned, we would all live in this earthly paradise. The story is not really true and the Garden of Eden is a mythic place that could never have existed. Yair Zakovitch, Dean of Humanities at Hebrew University, in discussing this passage says, "The thing to remember about the Bible is that the events and characters are just vehicles to convey messages. The biblical narrative was written to educate our young nation, not so much to tell us what really happened."

Why was Adam created outside of Eden?

I'm not sure we know that Adam was created outside of Eden. There was a geographical location called Eden and there was a garden called Eden. All scripture tells us is that God created Adam and put him in the Garden of Eden. He probably was created out of the ground in Eden and then placed in God's Garden of Eden. Regardless of where Adam was created I am not aware that there is any significance to Adam being created outside or inside Eden.
