A:
You can certainly tell him to take you to court. If what you're saying about him is true, there sounds like quite a bit of stuff he should work on before spending time and money going to court, but I suppose that's his decision.
Just know, though, that many judges don't look kindly on unreasonable and complete refusals to let the other parent see the child.
