"That’s because it’s impossible for a computer to calculate infinite values. It can get very close to seeing a singularity, but it can’t actually reach it"

Why not?

Is it impossible to calculate infinite values in general? I suspect not, My understanding is that a lot of calculus is in fact on how to calculate infinite values.

And a computer is a universal machine, this means that while it can not calculate everything, it can calculate anything that is calculable.
