Because you're so quick jump to dumb conclusions.
The section of the TOS you referenced refers to dump data not sign up notification data.
You can opt your email out of the HIBP database and then it won't return Pwned on a search, but it remains in the database because it's a fundamental part of how the database works. Also email addresses change hands, eg:
[email protected] which is why they're flagged and not removed from HIBP dump data.
Furthermore the dump data has already been made public on pastebins and other such services by hackers, deleting an email from the HIBP database doesn't magically make the email address disappear from the dumps out there on the web.
