Players can't just grab anything they wish from someone on the bench during the game. Some items just aren't appropriate for the court and can't be permissible. To make the point more clearly, substitute a pair of scissors for the water bottle and say that the player desires cut tape off his wrist because it is wrapped too tightly.

Allow me to apply some reductio ad absurdum to your argument. Substitute a gun for the scissors. And you are only assessing a technical foul and allowing the player to remain in the game?!??!!?
