So, you agree that your logic makes everything worthless.

Since I hope you agree that being able to do simple math is useful, and 
thus small numbers are useful even if we can't find the biggest.

THus, your false premise that without a biggest, the smaller are 
worthless is just incorrect, and thus your conclusion is incorrect.

It may be that without being able to have a biggest Natural Number you 
think that it makes that set worthless, but that is just your error.

The problem is that a logic that can only work if it can find the "last" 
number of a set is itself worthless if the sets you are trying to deal 
with are infinite, so don't have that property.

So, all you are doing is proving that your own logic is faulty and 
worthless if you want to deal with infinite sets.

There isn't anything wrong with the infinite sets, as with a PROPER 
logic, they fully work, it is just your broken, and ill-defined, logic 
that you have your problems.
