I'm saying that by implication, an infinite past is an infinite past endured (which is impossible).

If there was a starting point, then there would not be an infinite past. y=x ; x>0 or y=x^(1/2)

If there was no starting point, then there would be an infinite past. y=x ; x=all real numbers

To beat it all we (as far as we know) cant look past the Big Bang, so we can only assume anyway what happened before or if there was a before anyway.

 

I think you're incorrectly ascribing time to the equation, because while an infinite number of positions are possible (as is allowed the equation), it still does not describe points transversing distance.

While I may grant you that, the oscillating universe idea does include the universe collapsing and re"Big Bang"ing, and if one is going to argue that the physical laws we know not may not have applied then, then that would be aprt from the idea of an oscillating universe, which is design soley to circumvent the problem of energy creation, which is not a problem if you ignore the laws for another argument.
