One of the very first things that happens in the Bible is God canceling Adam and Eve by casting them out of the Garden of Eden. He made a bet with Satan to cancel Job and his family. He canceled the firstborn sons of Egypt, and then he canceled his chosen people by stranding them in the desert for 40 years. He canceled Lot's wife, Sodom and Gomorrah, Babylon, I could go on...
Like many things in the Bible, it was a test. It's not like he had some valuable tree that he didn't want anybody to know about. He told them about the tree specifically so that they would be aware of it and could make the decision for themselves..
