I'm pretty sure after all those nukes everything would be radiated and the rest of the world would collapse, no food etc..

Im pretty sure the numbers are calculated wrong simply because they are assuming that all the nukes we have are equivalent to the most powerful nukes, which im pretty sure they are not.

The number of nukes we currently have certainly may not be enough to completely eradicate all humanity, it is I am sure much much more than enough to completely destroy civilization as we know it.

Well you need to take into account all the other nukes we have, plus yes nuculear fallout. Plus how said population is not distributed evenly. Also you must take into account the defenses of earth against this and how many nukes would be destroyed before said incident by norad or anything.

Make no mistake brinksmanship has taken us to the brink of extinction...

It was not designed to take fallout into account. This was to see how many nukes are needed to take out the entire world in 2 seconds.
