I don't get the point. It wasn't John that said he was illiterate, it was someone who was insulting him saying it. Second, it was said when John was a teenager, and he wrote the gospel when he was the "aged" apostle. 50 years is a long time to learn how to write, especially for someone who had given their life to "the ministry of the word" Acts 6.
So does the Bible really say that John the aged apostle was unable to write? No. Does it even say that the Sanhedrin and Pharisees felt he was unable to write at the time that the gospel of John was written? No. You are constructing an argument out of tissue paper.
