Because some people don't like the word 'toilet', and if it hasn't got a bath then it isn't really a bathroom either. If you have ever sat down in one after a long wait to get to it, then it can be 'restful', so it's a somewhat fitting word.

As trivia, that is where "taking a pee," etc. comes from. You are taking the relief you get from removing the urine, not taking the urine with you as the idiom implies.
