The ouput-slots of the camp fire are... as the name says.... output, not input. Input is your inventory.
You need murky water for other receipes, too. I.e. to make glue. So removing murky water entirely (and increase cooking time of water) would break other receips.
And as roland said, you don't need to cook murky water, you can just pick up murky water from every water source. You need to cook murky water if you use snow. Then see it as the melting process. And yes, that's not realistic, but it's also not realistic that snow doesn't melt anyway. This is a game, not a real-life-simulator.
Probably it's possible to add another receipe to craft snow+bottle directly into drinkable water with increased cooking time. But that might confuse people to choose the correct receipe for the given output, regarding weather they want to craft from snow+bottle or from murky water.
Another tip: to reduce your "clicking hell". Place a second campfire. Use the first camp fire to cook snow into murky water, put a job with 500 there, let it run "forever". Use the second camp fire to bulk-craft the murky water from the first camp fire into water. Doing the cooking for only few items a time, is inefficient anyway (not just because of the clicking).
Because other ways your poncho would have been cooked in the camp fire.
There are receips that you can either craft in a workbench or in inventory, e.g. duct tape. While you are in the workbench menu, how should the game know where you want to craft your stuff? Since you are in the workbench menu, it assumes, you want to use the workbench.
Even if there are no receips craftable in the camp fire you could also do in your inventory, i guess simply every crafting station follow the same mechanics.
