I'm not sure what your point is. It's impossible to ask the computer to store those numbers, so why does it matter whether they can be stored?
Or in other words: It can store all the non-computable numbers you give it. That should suffice.
You can't say the same about most real numbers, all the ones that we postulate must exist but that have infinite complexity. You can't ever construct a single one of them.
