I wanna be like Riker, Riker's so cool, every morning I get up and open palm slap my Star: The Next Generation VHS tapes into the TV and start copying Riker's moves and his sexy swagger

Wasn't there a DS9 episode or some poo poo where some transporter patterns are uploaded into the station computers and they can barely handle it because they take up so much space? And they have to power down other essential systems just to save a couple of people? And that was on a huge space station. The human body is too complex for everyone to get backed up on the computers all the time. When they transport people, they can only transport a handful of them at a time, and only parts of them are moved over at any one time, which is why it takes so long. They can't just beam a bunch of people over in the blink of an eye because it will crash their whole system.

what happens if you use a holotoilet on the holodeck? where does the poop go?

When you say "computer, end program" the toilet disappears and the poop falls on the floor for the space janitors to clean up.
