Why is Jesus referred to as the perfect man?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is called the perfect man because He lived a sinless life, wholly submitting to God's will, unlike any other human.

In contrast to Job and all other humans who are inherently sinful, Jesus Christ stands as the perfect man, having never committed sin. As referenced in 1 Peter 2:22, He committed no sin and exemplified perfect obedience to the Father, even in His suffering. His prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane reveals His submission to God's will, emphasizing His unique role in salvation. This perfection is not only necessary for our redemption but also provides the ultimate example of how to endure suffering without complaint, pointing us to the hope we have in Him as our mediator.
