Therefore even in an infinite universe you only get to see a finite volume of space. So only the Photons from objects in this volume can reach you, so no superheating problem! This also means that the cooling of space does not mean energy is being 'lost' only that the density of the energy is decreasing, same amount of energy larger volume.

Good points, and certainly true for a universe which is expanding at an accelerating rate, as our universe currently seems to be. Of course, in such a universe, the volume that we can interact with in any way is certainly very finite, so you throw away much of the appeal of having an infinite universe.
