>which is far past the fact no one should give a shit about infinity.

Right, calculus is just shit.
Now I KNOW you're shitposting.

>Once you entertain infinity, you entertain pure fiction.

The SAME EXACT rhetoric was used on negative numbers. "It doesn't make sense!" "You don't see it in reality!" THEN it was used on imaginary/comblex numbers. Now we have the neat properties of quaternions and the ability to reliably rotate vectors free from gimbal lock. And AC circuits. Quite often this "useless maths" turns out to be extremely useful. The difference between you and an average sci/maths geek is that at least everyone else can appreciate the usefulness that the maths we ROUTINELY USE has already given us. You'd be the kind of person who argues that numbers are completely useless because they're intangible. You're too shortsighted to patterns. And you're too bullheaded to see the arithmetic because it doesn't conform to YOUR interpretation of how things SHOULD be.
