You're trying to apply real world common sense to DF physics. Yes, we should acknowledge that the capys are doing something impossible in the real world. But they're in DF.

I had this problem too. Capybaramen spawned in the brook and never left. Ultimately I had to channel out large part of the brook "floor", they eventually wandered out of the brook after that.

"Brooks" are just 4-width floors above tiles filled with 7/7 water. The water itself is entirely "passable", so once you dug those channels the capys were given free access to the luscious water below.

Those floor tiles are not normal DF floors though, as said above the important difference being that they act like Fortifications to liquids.  You can drain water into a brook without channeling the surface.

Capture and tame them. Who doesn't enjoy gigantic guinea pigs?!

Also known as "natural microcline-colored floor grates over a river."

but I tend to make use of the beasties I kill so unfortunately turning the lakes to obsidian just isn't gonna work this time

I remember my Forgotten Beast Obsidianizer...  you could dig their remains right out of the rock and they'd be taken straight to the butcher shop.
