Let $h_0=f_{1,0}-f_{2,0}\ge 0$. The damped free-transport evolution preserves nonnegativity, and a nonnegative kernel makes $\tau$ preserve it as well. Every term in ${\sum }_{n\ge 0}{\tau }^{n}F(h_0)$ is therefore nonnegative. By linearity, the difference $f_1-f_2$ solves the fixed point equation with initial value $h_0$. The assumed uniqueness identifies it with this nonnegative sum on every finite interval. Hence the order preservation for the linear Boltzmann equation givesContinuity upgrades pointwise limits in the series to the stated continuous solution; no pointwise differentiability or minimum principle is needed.
