Why don’t we store it and use it another time?

This option is NOT available everywhere, and that is where bitcoin mining shines. See e.g. Gridless.

That's why you invest in those storage options - not some GPUs to convert the energy to produce waste heat

Again, that option is NOT available everywhere. Brain, turn it on.
