For athletes especially, losing a lot of water in a short period of time is going to deteriorate performance. Cramping muscles, less fluid to carry essential electrolytes to the muscles and actually less blood volume, which decreases ability to uptake oxygen.
Please note that I specifically wrote "excess" water. No danger whatsoever in losing that at all.
