We are just scratching the surface of the possible knowledge.
We can only infer the existence of black holes and nowhere do we need infinities to predict them.

I think you'll find that despite that indeterminate nature at the quantum scale of things, that many aspects of quantum theory are shot through full of infinities. That's why the equations of state in these theories are renormalised.... to get rid of (or at least reduce) the infinities.
