I think you're missing the point of set theory and the reals. No one is claiming that such things exist in the real world. But they help in modeling the real world and enable us to come to conclusions more easily than without them. Then, if engineers want to apply the results, they can try to get to them more directly (e.g. with approximations).
nice video, where can I see this logical problems of the real numbrers, I've watched several videos from your AlgTop series and you mention that as well.
