How did Nintendo not realize reusing the same map would make people angry?

They probably considered it, but realized that the new 80% of Zelda’s audience that BotW brought in were normie slop-chuggers who wouldn’t care, and the existing ZeLink foids would excuse it if they got a crumb of their ship to flick the bean to.

TOTK would have been incredible, if they did not make BOTW at all

I still don't understand this complaint. Did you memorize every curve and slope of the terrain?

Why is this even a complaint when the other complaint is you can fly over the entire world and not explore anything.

There are plenty of things to not like about TotK but the map isn't one of them.

Fujibayashi is to blame for this. Skyward Sword is also a worse game than Wind Waker, but it took even longer to make than Twilight Princess did, and somehow he still wrote the entire plot in an afternoon.

He also said the Depth in TotK were just auto-generated terrain by making an algorithm that inverses the overworld map with unique tiles, and that it "only took a couple of hours to generate."

So there's a tendency with this Zelda director to take minimum 5 years and a lot of that time is spent faffing about.
