You can put a toilet in an art gallery and call it art.

A toilet is not made for art.

Marcel Duchamp very famously had a piece on display called Fountain that was exactly as you describe, a toilet in a gallery as art. There is no requirement anywhere that art be made with tools designed for creating art. We make art of our surroundings.

Did you think I accidentally used the example of a toilet and an art gallery?

Please copy paste this exchange into any freely available LLM to help explain the point I'm making that you are unable to grasp.

ps. I have no trouble comprehending your banal truism - anything can be called anything by anybody at any time, including we, art and the word for.
