Japanese entering into the west pacific, freeing up Siberian armies to be re positioned along the east front and defend the gateway to the caucus

Too few men. Shouldn't have diverted men to capture grozny before stalingrad was secured. Also, Romanians and hungarians were garbage.

The Axis hadn't enough reserves to attack Ukraine and Moscow in 1942. The Soviets would have defended Moscow the same way they defended Stalingrad.

Moscow is 10x the size of stalingrad. And unlike stalingrad was heavily defended and fortified.

It's unlikely Moscow would have been a success either. Even in a best case scenario the Wehrmacht would have arrived at the gates of Moscow right as the winter was setting in.
The honest answer is that the Germans greatly underestimated the fighting capabilities of the USSR. Not saying they were wrong to, given the information available at the time, but that's what happened.
They planned for a short war. They did not have the supply capabilities to keep the very stretched front lines at operational effectiveness for long.
+ the Russians destroyed their already shit infrastructure as they retreated, making logistics even more of a nightmare.
