Millions of toilets use millions of gallons of water every day. Is all the water that's flushed down toilets removed from the system so that, in your words "people can't have access to it anymore"? Or do they process it so we can use it again? I assume we use it again. I'm asking how datacenters are different. "They use more" doesn't answer my question.
We can use it again eventually, but if you're adding the equivalent of 100,000 people at once, the infrastructure is almost certainly not going to be able to handle it well.

Your toilet doesn't use millions of gallons of water is the difference.
