'Defining into existence' that which doesn't exist
makes nonsense of whatever meaning one's words have.

Finite doesn't need to be small.
ℕⁿᵒᵗᐧᵂᴹ holds ordinals which
are big compared to Avogadroᴬᵛᵒᵍᵃᵈʳᵒ,
but those big ordinals have an immediate predecessor,
and each non.0.ordinal before them has
an immediate predecessor.
That makes them finite, but not necessarily small.

Now, if there is something as relevant as Cardinality,
as primary, for mathematical foundations, it's: Continuity,
that Continuity, is so essentially primary, fundamental,
central, and ubiquitous, makes for the Cardinality as
next to Ordinality for counting vis-a-vis Numbering,
in where there are various (and perhaps, nowhere only
"standard") models of integers, where Cohen for the
Independence of the Continuum Hypothesis in Cardinals
makes an extra-ordinary bit of model there courtesy
a pretty simple induction about Ordinals vis-a-vis Cardinals
in a theory with numbering vis-a-vis counting that there
is: the extra-ordinary, about ubiquitous ordinals
in any old theory.
That there is one at all, ....
