It is pretty fundamental, ask yourself why people breed. It is basically the ultimate expression of our ego, selfish in nature, or you want more laborers in your clan for the fields.

More people cause more consumption.

You wish to use the vulnerability of certain countries to make an emotional plea, without connecting all the dots. The land does not support the population, that happens sometimes, it isn't your fault. The political lines between countries prevent mass shifting of populations (because that country has to take car of their own and may be overwhelmed otherwise).

So having one giant country solves your concerns, they ARE us. But each country is prideful, like each person. Each feels disconnected.

But of course there is advantage to diversity as well.

So you are saying "this is BAD", and I think that zooming in on this one issue, and expecting everyone to share your values is arguably "Bad".
