Except the levels of overpopulation that result in literal cities, and a blighted landscape. All problems facing humanity are caused by overpopulation.
The issue isn't space nor food/resources, the issue is the Powers That Be crippling nations and reducing stable growth.
A lot of people will say "Oh but large parts of the Earth can't be farmed or lived in!"
But the Dutch proved that was false when they traveled to South Africa and took their farming techniques with them, repurposing the land for farming, and making it one of the most prestigious exports for agriculture in the world:

In essence, even places that are difficult to maintain sustainability can be repurposed for sustainability. It depends on the ingenuity of the people and the willingness to establish stability and growth.
However, allowing a large portion of the planet to eat, live safely, and prosper means less wealth, control, and power for the Elites. It also means less dictatorship over the direction and fate of mankind.
If more independent work-growth and sustenance was the order of the day, everything would basically balance out, and more resources, tax dollars, and slush could be used on important things to secure humanity's future such as planetary colonization.
In fact, if we spent less money sending resources to third-world, impoverished nations, less money selling terrorists military equipment, partaking in pointless proxy wars that line the pockets of the rich, and less money de-stabilizing and scuttling markets, we probably would have already developed the resources and had the means to colonize large parts of Mars by now.
So if any space exists that isn't already crammed full of people, you want it crammed full of people. But that's not an actual reason.
What do you hope to accomplish or to happen by having too many people crammed into the habitable areas of earths surface? Is it the misery and insanity overcrowded conditions create? Are you wanting to increase the drama of our bust when the boom phase finally collapses? Why do you want too many people to exist?

That's always been a Left-wing myth.
Humans occupy less than 0.01% of the Earth's land mass. You could literally fit EVERY single human being in the state of Texas.
American farmers produce enough agriculture food alone to feed up to 10 billion people: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/241746569_We_Already_Grow_Enough_Food_for_10_Billion_People_and_Still_Can't_End_Hunger

Without American farming subsidies in lieu of the free market to accommodating globalization, America's food and agriculture industry would look VERY different from today's corporatized food market: https://www.heritage.org/budget-and-spending/report/how-farm-subsidies-became-americas-largest-corporate-welfare-program

This is not evidence or proof that there aren't too many humans trying to live on our planets surface.
What is your real reason for wanting too many people?
Everything beneath the line you quoted.
