Services already exist that does this. Some password managers will check but the popular service often talked about on here is https://haveibeenpwned.com/

Each time a breach like this happens I want to download the file and check if 1. My emails are in the dataset, and 2. Any of my passwords are in that dataset. I really just want the collection of passwords so that I can use it as a check against any of my current passwords. [EDIT: I know about haveibeenpwned.com; I'm not asking for a service that I send a http request to to determine if a single username exists in th…

I don't know why we can't use this kind of thing for better privacy everywhere.
A similar example (outside the realm of passwords) would be when checking for a software update. Instead of sending "i have software xyz version 1.2.3", just download a current list of software and check it locally against your software. Probably would be faster anyway to download a static dataset instead of hitting a remote database.
What is the chance that my email and phone number aren't everywhere? Email and phone aliases are still rare.

1. People on my s*t list are in the dataset, and
2. Any of their passwords are in that dataset.
Then I can use the information to make their lives miserable.

If you use any of the better password managers this feature exists and runs automatically. If you don't want to go that route, then you can make use of https://haveibeenpwned.com/

I have a gmail account which google one shows, it along with a username has been leaked on dark web, but haveibeenpwned shows email was not found in any data breach. How is that possible?
No evidence is presented that anybody but the security researcher noticed the unprotected data. The data is a compilation of previously leaked emails.
"exposing records with user emails and passwords from previously reported and non-reported data breaches." I think you mean to say that there is no evidence presented precluding someone grabbing the data?
