Relativity requires mutally symmetric methods. So if you synchronize clock B with clock A, this must come to the same result, as if you would synchronize clock A with clock B.

 No, it does not mutually symmetric methods. Such methods make the
presentation of the theory easier but do not affect the theory.
Einstein chose a symmetric method because otherwise his text would
be harder to read and understand.

The very word 'relativity' requires mutually symmetric perspectives.
This goes like this:
you stand there, I stand here and I see you.
Now the opposite should also be possible, but from your perspective.
This means: you see me, while you would call yourself 'I', your own location 'here' and mine 'there'.
This would give:
you stand there, I stand here and I see you (but said by you and from your point of view).
Since both perspectives are of equal rights, we need to accept both views as valid, hence need mutually symmetric perspectives.

But this requirement was not fullfilled in Einstein's scheme, because Einstein didn't take delay into consideration.

 So you say but cannot prove.

Negative statements are difficult to prove.
But I can ask you, to prove the opposite and prove, that you failed.
So: where exactly did Einstein take delay into consideration in his 1905 paper??
