Ending up on HaveIBeenPwned is only a problem if you reuse passwords.

Nope. It is a problem if you reuse email addresses.

Are you saying that you reuse the same password everywhere, but a different email address every time, and you feel confident that having your password leaked won't have repercussions?

I am genuinely confused. Sounds like holding a gun from the wrong end and feeling protected by it.
