The oceans are enormous, but so is the rest of the world. Didn't stop us from affecting most of it. As you say, the ocean may be big enough to handle some, but we can't afford to dump it all in the ocean. The waste will not build up to a hill, it will in a very short time build up to a mountain.

And the ocean is many orders of magnitude larger than a mountain

Yeah, because "dump-it-and-forgett-it" hasn't come back to haunt us in the past? We've got everything from toxic waste to old ammo and nuclear waste that are ticking time bombs we don't know how to handle as is. But sure! Let's add another one to the list!
