You claimed that he uses more than I do, namely all natural numbers.

 Right, you never use ALL the natural numbers, only a finite subset of them.

Please give the quote from which you obtain a difference between
"The infinite sequence thus defined has the peculiar property to contain the positive rational numbers completely, and each of them only once at a determined place." [G. Cantor, letter to R. Lipschitz (19 Nov 1883)]
and my "the infinite sequence f(n) = [1, n] contains all natural numbers n completely, and each of them only once at a determined place."
