If you use any of the better password managers this feature exists and runs automatically. If you don't want to go that route, then you can make use of https://haveibeenpwned.com/

I have a gmail account which google one shows, it along with a username has been leaked on dark web, but haveibeenpwned shows email was not found in any data breach. How is that possible?

They're using different data sources.

Services already exist that does this. Some password managers will check but the popular service often talked about on here is https://haveibeenpwned.com/

They used to publish a torrent with hashes, but then went full SaaS.

HIBP lets you download their hashed passwords DB to check against.

I agree - download all the passwords and don't single out what you're checkign for someone else to see.
I don't know why we can't use this kind of thing for better privacy everywhere.
A similar example (outside the realm of passwords) would be when checking for a software update. Instead of sending "i have software xyz version 1.2.3", just download a current list of software and check it locally against your software. Probably would be faster anyway to download a static dataset instead of hitting a remote database.

Each time a breach like this happens I want to download the file and check if;
1. People on my s*t list are in the dataset, and
2. Any of their passwords are in that dataset.
Then I can use the information to make their lives miserable.
1. My emails are in the dataset, and
2. Any of my passwords are in that dataset.
I really just want the collection of passwords so that I can use it as a check against any of my current passwords
