I don't understand why anyone cares. It's just the magic equivalent of what actual rich people did before plumbing.

No it isn't? People would mostly either poo poo in an outdoor cesspit (directly or indirectly) or a vessel which they emptied out somewhere (often somewhere unsanitary like a river). The phrasing "relieve themselves where they stood" makes it sound like the wizards just stood there during a conversation, casually started pissing and making GBS threads in full view of each other, and then magic'd it away only after completion. It would have been more intuitive that they did something like excuse themselves to a private place to use a pot which automatically vanished its contents.

It's just really weird phrasing that can't help but conjure up an AUG mental image.

Even worse than poo in the hallways, one Princess d’Harcourt obviously thought she needed no toilet at all, and just relieved herself while walking! Her dresses were disgusting, and she always left a trail wherever she walked. Apparently, this habit was an old French habit.

If my understanding of the Harry Potter world is right it is that creativity is actively discouraged if not actually punished.

There are rigid rules, and going against them in any way is bad. The house you get put into at a posh private school when you are 12 defines your entire existence after that. You are either a goodie, (in which case everything you do is good and right and justified no matter what it is), or a baddie, (boo, hiss, look at him, shun him, despise him, also they are ugly.) The magic legal system is a kangaroo court designed to punish wrongthink and dissent.

So I would imagine that the first wizard/witch to go "hey guys, lets stop pooping our pants because it is gross and yucky, there is a better easier way." would have been regarded with at best suspicion, and at worst been outcast as a heretic.

I remember a bit in one of the books where one of the mage police is arguing with an old wizard about wearing pants to not stand out in case of muggles and the old wizard insisting he's worn robes all his life like everyone else in his family and he wasn't about to change now and there was nothing wrong with getting some air around his privates anyway.

It's like the more you really start thinking about the reality of the Wizarding World, it's really more horrific than wonderful.

The wizards were an alegory for the upper classes.
And the purebloods were an alegory for the upper-upper classes.

Yeah but royalty still had latrines before indoor plumbing. They didn't just drop trou and take a dump on their throne in the middle of holding court and wait for someone to wipe it up.

Some castles were built with toilets overhanging the moat, for example.

This would often be the best way of infiltrating the castle with a small squad of soldiers to open the gates, or assassinate the lord.

Well, in the first place you were already a soldier in the middle ages, so that's pretty far from the worst thing that could happen to you.
