What a great problem! A nice variant would be to use a kettle raising a cup of water up to boiling temp. 70 C * 1/4 liter * 4 kJ / liter C = 70 kJ to raise to boiling point. Which is enough energy to raise a person 100 meters in the air.
(I like the kettle variant because we see that happen in front of us. Whereas the hot water heater for a bath is more hidden. But either way is a great problem. And I love your approach for figuring the number out.)

One punchline of this problem is that if we're trying to cut our home energy consumption, heating and cooling - especially of water - are good places to look for savings.
