Was there disease before the Flood? You may need to include an infant mortality rate (not to mention adult) to these calculations if so.

I am merely quoting these calculations; they are certainly not mine!As I do not believe in the Flood or the historic correctness of Genesis, I feel any attempt to calculate the number of people killed in the Flood is best left those that believe in it. After all, if creationism claims to be scientific, would they not themselves be interested in finding out? Whether or not infant morality is an factor I do not and cannot estimate, but the question whether it has to be included or not, merely makes the number even more uncertain....

I quite agree, & don't deny your calculations accuracy, but we need a creationist to tell us whether there's disease or not pre-flood, if not, your conclusion stands.
