The issue with Amon is that he's a villain. An obvious statement I know, but my meaning is that Amon's plan doesn't neccessarily have to be technically possible for him to be a real threat. The real issue comes down to what kind of damage will he inflict while trying to achieve his goal, even if his goal is not actually possible at all; what's important is that Amon thinks its possible, and its the chaos and misery that he wreaks that is what drives the protagonists to want to stop him.

You are basically correct in that Amon is pretty much fighting a futile fight, but he doesn't think so, and it would be morally bankrupt to take a position of "Eh, his plan will never work. We'll just let him flail angrily and tire himself out, then he'll stop". Impossible or not, he can and will harm many people in his attempt to achieve his ideal, and that is why he needs to be stopped.
