I thought the Yanks called it the (equally daft) "Restroom". What's
wrong with calling a toilet a toilet?

'Restroom' is more often used for toilets in restaurants, schools, and
similar locations.
In a home it's typically referred to as a 'bathroom', whether or not it
contains a bath (or shower).Â* I've even heard the toilet facilities on
planes referred to as bathrooms...
Emptying one's bowels is often called 'going to the bathroom'.

No, its called going to the bog, or sitting on the doughnut in granny's
greenhouse.
