Is Jesus' sacrifice really a significant lost?

I know this question sounds offensive, but please let me clarify. Jesus' sacrifice is obviously considered a great gift from God and a powerful sacrifice from God by Christians. However, if God is infinite then how is he able to make sacrifices. In order to sacrifice something, that something has to be taken out of another something that is limited. In this case, if Jesus died, this would be of absolutely no significance to God, because God can instantly recreate him out of nothing and make it seem as if Jesus never died at all (and this is what happened). So shouldn't we see Jesus' death as more of a show of a fake sacrifice, rather than an epic and saddening act heroicly done by God. This idea of not being able to make sacrifices out of something infinite can even be explained in math. If you divide infinite by any number, it is still infinite. If you divide any number by infinite, it approaches zero. Meaning if you can sacrifice Jesus infinite times then significance become zero.
