Many phrases for defecating use the word "take". It makes no sense to me

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 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.
