Well, pinch means steal. So I'd understand that to be 'steal a loaf of bread', which was the kind of thing that people used to get transported to Australia for.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Yes! Or for being rebellious and Irish. Or buggering sheep.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think the "off" makes a huge difference.

Where does it have something to do with pooping?

in the US, pinch off a loaf means: make a poo.

You know, I really find all the euphemisms for taking a shit infinitely more unpleasant and distasteful than actually just saying 'take a shit'.
I also find "potty mouth" a truly revolting phrase, which gives me visuals of coprophagy.

Well, I do think that's the rationale behind saying that to kids (or anyone). Equating profanity with something seriously, revoltingly nasty, I mean. Along the lines of "Do you kiss your mother/father with that mouth?"
Sidenote: with "No, but I kiss yours with it." being the obvious blowback comment.

I am truly sorry I brought it up. Initially my curiosity outweighed my disgust but that is no longer the case.
