This would probably be worse - he'd have to produce a cousin with that birthdate at trial (since the text alone was enough to charge in addition to his proximity, most likely), and since it was in a police interview, he's essentially impeached himself already.
Once he knows he's being charged (which the text essentially does), it may be to his benefit to cooperate and try for a reduced sentence - obviously that totally depends on his past record, the DA, etc.
In general it's better to just not talk at all than to lie to the cops.
