But that doesn't mean there is a lowest most point in (0, 1] as any point you might want to call it will have another point between it and 0.

I will not call any point but consider all points. There is no point smaller than all points in the open interval but a smallest one. Only 0 is smaller than all.
Note, I said between the point your THINK is the first, there is no such point, and thus you are agreeing to that fact.
You can only have a first point in the open interval if the interval has only a finite number of points,

No, that is your big mistake. In the interval [0, 1] there is a point next to 0 and a point next to 1, and infinitely many are beteen them.
Define 'next' in this context.
