You did not specify any problems with the above line pertaining to "du".

The above line does not relate to "du", but to "find" and "wc".

I don't think so. You can easily check wc's counter by generating known
input, e.g. as follows:
$ yes | head -n80000 | wc -l
80000
$ yes | head -n2678400 | wc -l
2678400

For some random directory I find the following:
$ find . -type f | wc -l
124168
I do not see the limit you observed.
