We know they negotiated over Whelan, and the negotiation didn't work out.
Takes two to tango. 
One interpretation is Biden wanted Griner more, for the reasons you list.  
Another interpretation is Putin valued Whelan more, and his price was more than any reasonable US President would ever pay.
Insisting on your interpretation is literally blaming America first.  You're in the blame America first crowd.  That's not good.

Yes, there is more than one interpretation, and you took Putin's side. That's not good.

Putin's side is that Paul Whelan is an international criminal and funder of death and destruction.  I don't believe that.  As for what Putin wants in exchange for Whelan, has he said? I don't know what he wants so how could I agree with it?
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
