If humans did not have free will, they would be incapable of love, since they would be essentially be biological robots.

How do you know what a "biological robot" would experience life as? Your inability to imagine consciousness as a biological phenomenon DOES NOT say anything about the true nature of consciousness.
How do you know that our experience of love is anything more than a psychological elaboration on chemical pair-bonding? Again, your inability to imagine what psychology+chemistry can account for does not constitute an insight into the necessity of free will.

Free will is a nice god of the gaps concept. Sadly, it doesn't help you understand anything, and by doing so actually holds you back in understanding these things.
