That wasn't the inference (at that stage) of the process. He contends that he can imagine himself without a body, but firstly even if his senses deceived him he could still be sure that he exists because he thinks. This isn't such a huge leap, considering, for instance, people with phantom limb syndrome or people delusional about how their body really is.
