How does it follow that Signal knowing a phone number means they know who the identity that phone number represents is communicating with?

Every Signal account is represented by the phone number the user provided in order to receive their SMS activation code, and messages are not sent directly between users' clients/apps but relayed through Signal's systems.
Your original assertion "signal knows who is talking to whom" does not follow from "Signal relays the data".
