Do I have unrealistic sharpness expectations?

Are these any better?

If these look better then perhaps you need to consider some post processing.

Also, f5.6 may not be the sharpest aperture for your lens. Also depth of field is shallow when shooting macro so a smaller aperture will help there as well.
