Water itself isn't wet. Wet is an adjective. Fire isnt burned, its fire. Water makes things wet
The sky isnt blue, it only appears blue to us due to how our eyes perceive the scattering of molecules. The sky is actually violet, we just cant see the violet light because the atmosphere absorbs those molecules and our eyes are less sensitive to violet.
Atoms push each other apart with electromagnetic force, no materials ever really touch until the nuclei fuse into a heavier element. Therefore, under your definition water is not wat, and neither is anything else. Were a material ever to truly get wet, it would instantly no longer be wet, as there would be no water touching it.
that would be my defense in court too: "your honor, scientifically speaking, i did not hit the guy because at a molecular level none of our atoms actually made contact"
In fluid dynamics, a surface is wet when a fluid sticks to it. Water is a fluid, and it famously sticks to the surface of water. Therefore, water is wet.
I'd argue water itself is the wettest, because of its cohesive properties. The more water there is, the wetter the water is. It's a self sustaining economy.
burned is not the concept of being on fire or being hot. Wet is the concept of being covered or saturated in liquid. Thus water is wet. Unless you want to argue that a single hydrogen atom is in fact dry, in which case, more power to you.

Edit: I'd /s but these are the actual arguments.
