Antinatalism ftw.

Not true. It's also me and other antinatalists. And my life is just fine, thank you. There's a big difference between refusing to begin a life and wanting to end one. Just like how there's a big difference to recognizing that the world would be a better place if certain holy books never existed on the one hand and actually advocating to burn them on the other hand.
You say it's just this one person but you are wrong. Antinatalism is a thing. There are lots of us. A large minority.
Adoption FTW. Better to help lives that already exist rather than add to the problem. And, yes, humanity is a problem. All arguments are ultimately question begging on some level. If you don't share the intuition then that isn't my problem. It's clear to me and others who see it.
