The only thing that Malthus was wrong about was the timing.
Collapse has happened to all the great human civilisations that went before us.
Our civilisation is no different and will also eventually collapse due to ecological overshoot. It will no doubt survive in small pockets here and there at least for a while. But it will never again be as widespread as it currently is.
Malthusian doomsdayers you say. I would rather them than naive optimists like yourself. Better to be prepared for the worst while hoping for the best.
