Usually because they have a shower or bath tub in the same room, so naturally we just say the bathroom. We also say restroom, but i never really understood that either.

Some of this is because of Americans' desire to avoid using the word "toilet" at least historically. It was considered to be a big vulgar. So "bathroom" became the euphemism for "toilet."
