Shankara in his BSB, clearly says "Jagat mithya" and "Jiva brahmaiva no parah". Your argument contradicts "Jagat Mithya" and therefore is incorrect. Moksha according to Advaita is when the individual no longer exists as an individual and the universe is no longer real, or in other words does not exist anymore.
Without an identity and with no universe (that is, there is no makind and no Maya), the point of a self-realized soul returning to the world does not arise.
