So then what's stopping you from running the BB(748) machine, getting the number, then running the ZFC machine and proving ZFC consistent or not?

A proof of existence is not the same as a construction, so the fact that we know that there exists a TM that computes BB(748) does not mean that we know which specific TM does it or how to construct such a TM.
