Yet, we drink from a mountain stream and we shit ourselves until we dehydrate and die.

actually, mountain streams are mostly safe because the water is in constant movement, and also as it's on a mountain, that typically means that the source is not that far away and so the water didn't have a lot of time to stand around and get infected with all kinds of stuff.

slowly-flowing or standing water in the plains is what gives you the diarrhea of your life.

True, but that's not just humans. We just drink less poop water so we're behind on the immunity.
