Let's make one thing entirely clear, I don't believe in God, so I'm not saying you actually should obey any of these rules, they're silly and contradict themselves constantly.
But if you DID believe in the Judeo-Christian version of God then you are absolutely morally obligated to follow every rule he made, no matter how retarded it seems to you.
He's literally right by definition, he is the embodiment of what is right. Saying that any command God gives could lead to a wrong outcome is like arguing that 2+2=5
This is also why all Christian attempts to argue that obedience to God is a good thing in terms of secular human values or human emotions are utterly retarded. God doesn't get sad, he's far above that. God isn't interested Justice as any actual human understands it (i.e. that punishments should be roughly equivalent to the crime and that sort of thing).
God is right because he's God and that's the only Christian apologetic argument that isn't fundamentally flawed. Every attempt to argue the rightness of God based on external factors is inherently flawed.
There's also no need to make apologies for any of the stuff that God said or commanded in the bible that is blatantly monstrous if judged by secular humanistic values, like when he tells the Israelites to bash babies against rocks.
God said to do it, ergo it is moral and correct. End of discussion.
