Jesus is a progress in the prototype because he was actually sacrificed (in the story), whereas Abraham was stopped by God's hand. I know that part doesn't interest you (I find it morbid) but Christianity wouldn't exist without this sacrifice.

I doubt Abraham was stopped is likely an after redaction of the story. Name change of the sacrifice (Isaac vs Ishmael as you pointed out) shows multiple versions floating round. I bet first version was pro-human sacrifice then later taboo & redacted.

It might be the willingness of sacrifice vs. sacrifice in itself. If your mindset is geared towards giving everything up in the name of a higher power you will be gifted with what you desire
Not a historical justification but a metaphysical reading
