So, maybe we were always omnivores but didn't realize it until after we dropped down from the trees. But then again, that would defeat the fact that, if we were naturally omnivores, we would naturally eat all foods and not just fruits.

A row of adoptions can be evolution. Adaptions take place all the time where life exists, humans hardly can be an exemption, its only that you have to consider the cultural development when it comes to humans more than with other animals.
I really can't follow your line of argumentation why it should not be possible to change from a frugivore to an omnivore or vice versa.
As I have said already before, I lack expertise in anthropology, but especially this issue should be one that has been quite extensively researched, as the skulls enable scientists to make quite good predictions about the nature of the food the early humans ate.
I am also not sure what you mean by "naturally".
