Found a solution.

Generated a full list of numbers in google sheets
Generated a simple vCard with one number using this service https://vcardmaker.com
Edited downloaded vcard.vcf file in code editor. Pasted numbers list above END:VCARD and added TEL;TYPE=CELL: to each line. (Can be added in bulk by replacing similar part of numbers, e.g. replace 555 with TEL;TYPE=CELL:555)
Added this vCard to contacts. And then added this contact to block list in iOS (Settings - Phone - Blocked Contacts)

Hey, I tried your solution, I wanted to block around 10000 numbers. After storing all those number into a vCard(with python), I was unable to upload it to iCloud contacts.
