More a question than a statement.

I remember when doing my engines module something about water actually displacing the air molecules and having a detrimental effect on thrust.

Water cooling is a way of creating cooler denser air increasing mass/weight of air but by means of performance still out-weighs the negatives of the water/air displacement??
