The short answer is that it doesn't. The toes, like the rest of the body, only need the oxygen from the air. Air passes into the lungs when we breathe in and oxygen passes through the walls of the alveoli into the blood capillaries. Here it combines with haemoglobin to form oxyhaemoglobin. The blood travels to the heart in the pulmonary vein and then off around the body in the arteries. Eventually some of it reaches the toes and gives up its oxygen to the cells, where it is used in respiration.

Why if your standing up the air pressure on you toes is slightly less than the air pressure on your nose?

I think you might have that question slightly turned around. The pressure on your nose is less than on your toes. Air pressure comes from the weight of the atmosphere pushing down on you. The higher something is, the less air there is above it, and the less pressure there is. Because your toes are lower than your nose, there is more air above it pressing down.

Why does an airplane have to have a pointy nose?

To fight off air resistance and go faster. If the airplane had a flat nose, (like your palm) the air resistance would affect the nose and make the plane slower, while a pointy nose allows the air resistance to pass by therefore making the plane go faster.
