  "We integrate the animal soul with the G-dly soul"

  If so then we should have brought a korban consisting of BOTH barley and  wheat together, at least by Shavuous. But the korban is first barley and later wheat, brought separately.

  The idea of starting with barley is that it is animal food

  The Torah was given in the midbar. The yidden ate the mann daily after their matza ran out. They had animals. 

  What did the animals eat? Did the yidden have barley or wheat to feed the animals? They obviously didn't grow any produce of any any type.  What did the animals eat? 

  How did the idea of animals eating barley apply at the time the mitzvah of Omer was given in the midbar? This was only possible later once the yidden entered EY and began to farm.

    וילקטו אותו בבקר בבקר בשחרית בשחרית דורשי רשומות אמרו מכאן שהיה במן בזיעת אפך תאכל לחם: וחם השמש ונמס, בארבע שעות אתה אומר בארבע שעות או אינו אלא בשש שעות כשהוא אומר וחם השמש משמע בשעה שהשמש חם והצל צונן זו היא שעה רביעית ביום. ונמס, כיון שחמה זורחת עליו היה פושר והולך ונחלים היו מושכין ממנו והולכין לים הגדול ובאין אילים וצבאים ויחמורים וכל בהמה ושותין מהם ואחר כך באין האומות וצדין מהם ואוכלים אותן וטועמים בהם טעם מן שהיה יורד לישראל:

    (mechilta derabi yishmael beshalach)

    ALso your claim that they did not grow anything might not be correct see medresh below

    וְהַמַּיִם יוֹצְאִים חוּץ לַמַּחֲנֶה וּמַקִּיפִין פִּיסָא גְדוֹלָה, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (תהלים כג, ג): יַנְחֵנִי בְּמַעְגְּלֵי צֶדֶּק לְמַעַן שְׁמוֹ. וּמְגַדְּלִין מִינֵי דְּשָׁאִים וְאִילָנוֹת לְאֵין סוֹף, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (תהלים כג, ב): בִּנְאוֹת דֶּשֶׁא יַרְבִּיצֵנִי עַל מֵי מְנֻחוֹת יְנַהֲלֵנִי.

  Pirkei Avos says not to say something ambiguous

  In the hope that it will be understood.  I.e. better to say something clearly, unambiguous. Ambiguity can lead to error, confusion, misinterpretation, etc.

  Hashem keeps the Torah He gave us. So, He should also be clear and unambiguous.

  If so, why did Hashem use ambiguous language ("the day after Shabbos bring the Omer" when He meant the day after Pesach)?

  Perhaps, being above time and knowing the future this deliberate ambiguity was used dafka in order to show the Saducees wrong and the propriety and necessity if Oral Torah.

  This debate actually continues today where some yidden try to keep Dorita mitzvos and not Torah she"baal peh

  Rashi Beitzah

  נשמה יתירה. רוחב לב למנוחה ולשמחה ולהיות פתוח לרוחה ויאכל וישתה ואין נפשו קצה עליו

  Rashi in Beitzah 16 says the neshama yeserah is in order to be able to eat more- lichora  a peleh - this is why need a neshama yeserah?Based on the Maamar that discusses--mashcheni .. narutzah -perhaps the idea is as follows: that by increasing the ratzon of the nefesh habehamus which is in full strength, that allows for the nefesh elokus to be  poel in the nefesh bahamas much more and proportionate to the strength of the nefesh bahamas the nefesh elokus will be able to run together with full strength.
