We wash our clothes, face, body, dishes and most other things with hot water. so why do we brush out teeth with cold water?

Not everyone washes their clothes with hot water. I'm sure not everyone washes their face with hot water. I've definitely heard of cold showers. And I know people who use warm water to brush their teeth as their teeth are sensitive to temperature extremes.
So the answer to your question is that your question can't be answered properly because it makes erroneous assumptions.
Thank you for playing.

Hot water makes the bristles limp.

I do just because I don't like warm water in my mouth for some reason, but I suppose you can. We're just doing what our parents taught us I guess.

Actually, dentists recommend you use no water/a DRY toothbrush, and this is the method I use.

There's no law that says you have to. Your welcome to use hot water if you so desire.
