The axial tilt was not caused by an impact. An impact could cause a wobble, but not a constant 23 degree tilt.

Good thing then that our axis does wobble, it doesn't have a constant tilt. The Chandler Wobble

An impact that could cause a permanent tilt probably would have destroyed the Earth. Also, you’d clearly see a massive hole where the comet hit, and the spiderweb fractures that created the tectonic plates would decrease in size the further you get from the impact. Also, something that large traveling that fast would not have curved. It easily would have been a straight line carved out.

That “wobble” gives us our seasons.
