Yes, God made clothes for them.
So like a flannel shirt, khaki chinos, and penny loafers for Adam, and a denim jumper, a white blouse, and sandals for Eve?

If they died that day, why were they alive the day after?
Yeah, that's the question I've been asking you for quite some time now. That and, if God said they would die that very day, and, as you say and I agree, God does not lie (and is never mistaken about anything), then, you know, why ~ and how ~ were they physically alive the day after. Yeah, both really the same kind of question.

The total mortal man.
Ah, "the total mortal man." Yes, physically speaking, man cannot only partially die...
That's correct. There is no half dead or half alive.
Agree. But you said "
total mortal man," which just sort of struck me as a bit humorous.

God sent them from the garden to prevent them from living for ever.
Yes, from the tree of life, and subjecting them to physical (the first) death. Sure. But that's not the whole story; it's only the result of the spiritual death they suffered on that very day. Adam and Eve actually died, just as God said they would ~ they became
dead in their sin/trespasses. And from that time forward,
all of mankind is born into this state, else there would be no need to be born again of the Holy Spirit. Okay, I'll explain (again):
We are
born in the bondage and corruption of sin, which was the state Adam and Eve fell into as a result of eating of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. As a result, we are the living dead, bequeathed this state by Adam and Eve as a result of the Fall in Genesis 3. Paul describes us Christians as those who “once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind” (Eph. 2:3a). Because of this corruption, we were ~ until we were born again of the Holy Spirit ~ spiritually dead, unable to understand savingly the Gospel (1 Cor. 2:14; John 3:3); filled with hate toward God (Rom. 8:6–7); and
unwilling and unable to respond to God in faith and repentance (Rom. 8:8; John 5:40). This is the terrible reality of
spiritual death, which is
separation from God. Spiritual death is the
root cause of the
second consequence of the Fall, physical (the first) death.

Why do you argue against God?
Never would I do such a thing.
Grace and peace to you.
