Properly understood, the idea of a completed infinity is no longer a problem in mathematics or philosophy. It is perfectly intelligible and coherent.
Yes, but it is completed and therefore fixed. The number of nines in 0.999... does not change when shifted by one step.

But it must be infinite, and thus not have an "end" and thus there is no "room" to add the zero.
All you are doing is proving that you concept of "completed infinity" isn't actually infinite.
This is why it is said that completed/actual infinity doesn't exist, because we are unable to understand how it works by comparing to to things we actually do understand.
