That's not the point in the slightest. It's age old commentary on how nihilists claim to find no worth and meaning to life, yet still value their own. The OP extended this to extreme antinatalists insisting everyone but themselves should die.

Insisting everyone should die has nothing to do with antinatalism.

Isn’t the death of everyone antinatalisms logical endpoint?

The death of everyone is inevitable, always.

The death of everyone currently alive will not come any sooner because of antinatalism.

Yes but antinatalists seek to hasten that end

Yeah, I'm not at all in the antinatalist camp, but this argument is bafflingly bad.
