No. This claim is obviously correct.
Only *if the complete existence of the not completely existing diagonal d is assumed*, it would be necessary to have it in the list and (since every line of the list contains everything that is contained by its predecessors) to have it in a line of the list. But obviously a potentially infinite diagonal does not exist completely (as the potentially infinite list does not exist completely).
