Are you overweight? or obese?

Case in point: I'm 6'6" and I'm about 295.

The Calculator says that my normal weight should be 161-216.

That's physically and surgically impossible.

The BMI uses a square function, not a cube function. It assumes you're two-dimensional.
 The BMI is not accurate if you're an athlete. For that you'd need to be weighed underwater or calipers.
@ rob: Well, some of these fashion models would qualify as 2-D.
