There are two main problems with your argument you presented.
1) "Everything is made up of functions" is vague. How, for instance, are quarks "made up of functions?"

Eh. I dunno really. Just like I don't know how humans are made up of functions. It's just a framework, not that there aren't other viable frameworks.

2) It is Mathematically provable that there exist mathematically well-defined functions that are not computable.

Hmm. Yeah maybe my wording doesn't exactly work. I guess I'd just say that the uncomputable functions (of which there are uncountably many, like you said) just aren't implementable. So then why would you think humans implement them?
I'm not saying I can prove that humans don't implement uncomputable functions, I'm just saying it seems like a more complicated philosophical worldview to have, and I'm using Occam's Razor.
