I get that our body needs water. But why does the thirst response almost always overestimates the amount of water our body actually needs, thereby leaving excess water that comes out as urine? How come our body doesn’t tell us to drink just the right amount of water that it needs? Why does yellow pee mean dehydration when the fact that there was enough excess water to produce urine means that you’re probably not dehydrated anymore?

Your body doesnt just use the water for keeping water inside. A lot of the water you drink is used to rinse out your system and get rid of water soluable toxins.
Think of urine as the grey water after the janitors are done mopping the floors. Nobody’s drinking that and you want to move the dirt out if the building, so you sump it down the drain. That mop water is more water than anyone was drinking, but it still needed to be brought into the building to be used and then emptied.
Deeply yelow to near brown urine then means you didnt have enough water for mop water, so toxins are staying in your system and not getting filtered properly. Like the mop water getting super black because it was used for three days and never changed.
