Your argument is based on water as a substance, not as a molecule

Water cant be just a molecule, as the relationship between molecules of a substance at different temperatures is what makes something a solid, liquid, gas, or plasma. Water is the liquid state of H2O, and thus one molecule of that would just be a single H2O

You know what else dries up? Water.

That's just the H2O changing phase to gaseous, it doesn't stop existing. I'd personally classify humidity as "wet", as would most people I've met, so it's still wet after "drying"

I'd say wet and dry are relative terms here but ultimately, yes, you and I are in agreement that water is wet.
