An important factor has been overlooked in this analysis: synergy. Individuals with low income live with other people.

You make the assumption that they should be required to live with other people.

When a group of people all start receiving a BI, their spending power will be more then the simple sum b/c they share and buy in bulk.

So do rich couples. This is a non-sensical argument. I'd rather not keep repeating how wrong you are, but suffice to say, nobody lives on $600/month in America. Your number is simply unintelligent.
