Something seems wrong with this argument. The relabeling, in particular, jars my intuition. You have an infinity of, presumably, conscious beings with subjective experience, each of whom would tell you that they are better off than they were before. Are you sure that "relabel" is a sensible operation in this context? You do not seem to be changing anything external to your own mind, and that seems like it ought not to affect your judgement of whether a thing is good or not.
