Need to collect output files (Iterate Feature Classes) into single input to INTERSECT tool.
Collect values isnt working (wrong data type)!
Only precondition is available (see pic):

I just tested this using Append instead of Intersect (because I don't have Advanced license to do more than two input feature classes), but otherwise my model was the same and it worked. It was actually the first time I had used Collect Values which I was keen to test.
The difference between your model and mine was that there was no connection between FeatureClass and Intersect/Append. Delete that connection and then you should be able to add a connection from Output Values to Intersect that is not a precondition.
This appears to be bug number NIM052331 which currently has a status of Declined - if this is affecting you the best course of action may be to report it to your local Esri support. A workaround would be to use Python/ArcPy rather than ModelBuilder to do this.
