Because it is quite a mild solution. There's plenty more water than acid, therefore you may assume that the properties of the water haven't changed much.

Such a dilute solution of HCl will not add enough ions to seriously affect the density of water. However, you start getting in the neighborhood of conc HCl an things get different.
The ions in a dilute solution do not have any effect on the heat capacity of the liquid. They will affect the boiling and melting points but not the thermal capacity.

1 M HCl is strong acid. It is the added HCl that makes the difference in the density and it is measureable. It should have less effect on heat capacity, but heating acid is not a good idea .
You can not just disregard the HCl.

You can't assume it has the same density. Specific heat capacity would be fairly close.
