It says you should eat more the fatter you are.

And that's true, if you're looking for a maintenance value. If you want to lose weight healthily and without messing up your BMR, aim for 5-10% lower than that maintenance value and re-evaluate your requirements periodically. It won't be fast weight loss, but it'll be stable and you won't risk causing any other health problems along the way.

Yes, it seems absurd to suggest that your hypothetical morbidly obese guy "should" be eating 5318 calories a day, but that calculator isn't making any suggestions about broader health. It's just saying how much energy your body needs to run properly at your current size/activity level. Getting significantly less (or more) than that will mess with your metabolism and cause further problems on top of whatever risks are associated with your current weight.
