We need infinity in mathematics for proofs, limits, etc. Even magnitudes of infinity have useful properties in game theory, signal theory. There is something “real” about infinity that “works” in our Universe. The axioms of infinity in math seem to “work”. Could there be a better set of axioms? Sure, but no one has come up with any.
