Are Prophets Sinners?

Muslims will tell us that prophets were/are sinless. Let's look at quran.
S 24:26 Malignant women are for malignant men and malignant men are for malignant women. And good women are for good men and good men are for good women. Those are exonerated from what they say. Theirs is forgiveness and a generous provision.
Evil women are the wives of evil men. If he's evil then he's a sinner. .
S 66:10 Allah has coined a similtude for those who have disbelieved: Nuh’s woman and Lut’s woman. They were under two slaves of our righteous slaves but they betrayed them. So they did not avail anything from Allah. And it was said: Enter the fire with those who enter.
Apparently, they committed adultery. If they were bad, their husbands were too.
S 40:55 So be patient. Allah’s promise is true. And ask for forgiveness for your sin and glorify with the praise of your lord in the evening and the morning.
Here the author, the 'prophet' of Islam, is speaking of himself. If it be objected to that dhanb is used for sin rather than khati'ah, he is to ask for forgiveness. Therefore it is with sin in mind.
S 47:19 So know that there is no god but Allah and ask for forgiveness for your sin and for the believing men and women. And Allah knows your wavering and your shelter.
S 48:1-2 We have conquered for you a clear conquest / That Allah may forgive you for what has preceded of your sin and what has followed and complete his grace upon you and guide you to a straight path
It's evident from verse 2 that he had sinned in the past and had sinned again.
S 66:1-5 .Prophet, why do you forbid what Allah has permitted for you, seeking to please your husbands? And Allah is a forgiver, merciful. 2 Allah has made for you the absolution of your oaths obligatory. And Allah is your mawla and he is the learned, the wise. 3 And when the prophet confided a hadith in some of his husbands and when she informed of it and Allah revealed it to him he told some of it and exposed some. Then when he informed her of it she said: Who informed you of this? He said: The learned, the expert has informed me. 4 If you repent to Allah--your hearts have deviated. And if you back one another up against him then Allah, he is his mawla and Jibril and the righteous of the believers, and the angels after that are an assistant. 5 Perhaps his lord if he divorced you would exchange for him husbands better than you, surrendering, believing, obedient, repentant, worshipping, fasting, matrons and virgins.
He sinned in making an oath not to fornicate with Mariyah the Copt after having been found out. 'Husbands' here stands for his wives. Were the Mothers of the Believers not Muslimahs (surrendering) or believers, nor obedient or repentant or worshippers or practising fasting? If they were bad and might be divorced then Ibn Aminah must have been bad.
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said:
"O people, repent to Allah, for I verily repent to Him one hundred times a day.Reference:Muslim 4/2076.
Why repent unless you sin?
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "But for the Israelis, meat would not decay and but for Eve, wives would never betray their husbands."
It would seem that Ibn Aminah taught that Eve had committed adultery. As adultery is a serious sin (except when it's not), she would have been bad and so too Adam, supposedly a prophet. Whom she supposedly committed adultery with is not stated.
