The Klei Yokor in Sefer Olelos Ephraim explains the saying of Hashem to Moshe Rabbenu to answer the malochim but he was not told to give them an answer but the word return חחזיר להם תשובה answer them back with their question. The malochim asked מה לילוד אשה בינינו what is a being born through a woman doing among us? Give them back there question as the answer. As we are a human being we need the Torah because of bechira, free choice and yetzer hara. The Ben Ish Chai compares Moshe Rabenu’s argument to a father who gave a suit to one his children which had precious stones sewn in the pockets. The argument was who gets it. Each one had his argument why he should get it. The youngest child gets up and says, let’s try it on and see who it fits. The makochim wanted the sodos, secrets hidden in the Torah. So Moshe Rabenu said that if the simple meaning does not apply to you, does not fit, then you get the Torah.
