Well, Jesus allowed John the Baptist to baptize him "that the
scriptures might be fulfilled".  Should he have resisted and cause
John to baptize him against his will so it would not look like a
set-up?

Judas' actions also caused him to betray Jesus.  

The sale of red heiffers is necessary to provide the waters of
purification so that the priests might be prepared to offer sacrifice.
Besides, if the church is raptured before this animal sacrifice all
starts again, the church age gentile form of salvation is no longer
available anyway, so who is to sya whether such sacrifice is wrong at
that time?  It will be a new dispensation in the millenial age, and a
trans-dispensational period during the 7 years of Daniel's last week.
The old rules of the 2000 year old church age will have ceased to
apply.
