Well, there is do doubt that there was sin for some time before Jesus came. I, and most Christians believe that the death of Jesus covered all sins (both those before and after Jesus came). Therefore, as far as I can tell, it wouldn't have mattered when Jesus came. So I think the answer to your question, "Why did God wait 198,000 years to send Jesus?", is "why not?"

this is something i never got, if jesus absolved all sins, why do people still theoretically go to hell?

The best way to explain it imo:
Jesus is your Get Out of Hell Free card. However, there are certain things you must do [as listed in the Bible] to use it. And of course you must believe in it for it to work.
