why is it a problem that it takes so much water to produce 1kg of beef – something like 15,000 liters – if the cows just pee it all back out anyway?

You can’t drink cow pee. Well I guess you can but I wouldn’t want to.

Eventually it does go back into the water cycle. Then from there it probably ends up in one of many water sources full of bacteria, heavy metals, and other bad stuff. So it has to go through treatment to be safely consumed. The treatment and transportation process takes up resources. Resources are limited.
