Heavenly Father gets all the glory. At the beginning of the plan Christ said give all the glory to the father.

You have accepted people are giving something to get the benefits of the atonement. That's not how free works.

Christ inherits all the Father has. He's also getting something.

Christ gets nothing in return

Moses 4:2
But, behold, my Beloved Son, which was my Beloved and Chosen from the beginning, said unto me--Father, thy will be done, and the glory be thine forever.

Christ committed no sin he could essentially have done that without the atonement

Christ got that from the father not from people accepting the atonement

If you read Alma 42 you'll find there had to be an atonement. God's plan required it.
