Because I know and expect that Google will use my emails to display targeted ads. And I also know that, under this process, my data remains in the custody of Google. I still fully expect Google not to send my data outside its servers, except to my recipient.

The 4th amendment does not restrain the government from looking at any information you don't want them to look at. It restraints them from personally harassing you to get information without a warrant. Once the information is out of your hands, you can imagine laws that will protect that information so it is used only according to your expectations, but the 4th amendment isn't the mechanism for that.
