There is an infinite number of planets, therefore since we are trying to determine the average population, we must take into account how many planets there are.
There are an undetermined amount of planets. We can not know with certainty that there are infinite planets, just as we can not know with certainty that the laws of gravity will apply tommorow or that the universe will continue expanding tommorow. Your argument rests upon the assumption that those things are objective and absolute truths.

Even if there was a large number of inhabited planets it still wouldn't change the point and we know that not every planet is inhabitable, therefore not every planet can be inhabited.
This statement does not mean they can not be inhabited either.
