Rumple had the Box before in the EF, so he could have tossed Cora in there. I mean can't he see the future?

Why this and that? It's simply because the writers must either don't care or haven't planned anything out. Rumple got the box a long time after Cora was sent to Wonderland. Since then, he did not get the occasion to meet Cora. You see? The problem is not from the writers :)
