Sure, mathematical abstractions and infinite structures are fun to play around with..
But go ahead and actually provide me the list of all naturals. You can not. Ever.

But how did you come to this conclusion unless by assuming that there are infinitely many natural numbers?
I agree though, that you have come up with a contradiction. Specifically, because you seem to believe these two statements:
There are finitely many natural numbers.
Given any finite list of natural numbers, we can always produce another natural number not on that list.
What it means for there to be infinitely many natural numbers is that for any finite list, there are natural numbers not on that list (something you appear to agree with). If there were finitely many natural numbers this wouldn't be true
