Many phrases for defecating use the word “take”. It makes no sense to me
Thanks Seinfeld
It's weird that we "take a shit". I don't know what other people are doing, but i definitely leave a shit, not take it

Take a shit…break?

Take ~= have ~= do
Take a break == have a break, but a break isn't a tangible thing, so this is shorthand for "do the actions required to constitute a break"

I don’t want to have a shit, either – I’m trying to get rid of the dang thing!

I see that… but I would argue breaks can be given. Therefore one can take a break.
Break being almost a non continuation of something. There are two beings involved. And as you point out, you can also perform action consume a break.
Taking a poop is slightly different because one is giving an offering. Although one can consume poop too but I guess it’s a different frame.

You’ve never “taken a break” or “taken a time-out” or “taken a nap”?
It’s not like “taking a X” is a foreign construct.

I take a break, a nap and a time out because Inwant those things for myself. I don’t want shit.

I run into the stall, push the people off the toilet and jam it into my own ass while it’s still warm.

Taking a shower’s worth of water out of the water heater.

Technically only true if you’re maxxed out on the hot, usually the hot is mixed with the cold water supply.
