If you look at the actuarial tables, 'immortals' would still statistically die eventually from something unrecoverable.

It won't have to. Injuries, disease, and cancer are still a thing.

Isn't the point of cryopreservation to be awoken when these things are no more?

Ain't never gonna be a "no more." That's not how biology or statistics work.

There will always be a half of humans. Even if aging and all diseases are covered. Imagine someone getting their brain crushed in a car accident for example. Or a plain crash and everyone burned to ash in the wreckage. The only difference is how long is that period.

That's the planet's problem... not mine.

More seriously : with such mindset, mankind would not be where it is now. It's by pushing the limits that you access some higher "truth", be it tech innovation or societal rules.
