Is it possible to build up resistance to waterborne toxins and viruses present in streams and rivers? Obviously finding a clean source would be best but wouldn't it be preferable to have a resistance to all that shit if you were in a pinch and needed to drink from whatever source was available, in the same way a wild animal would?

This depends more on the toxin and the virus. The crude answer to your question would be "yes".

Bring your own water or a lifestraw if desperate (or larping).
Some general tips:
>no drinky still worter, many nasty
>look for clear streams or other moving water
>rainwater is better than other types, make a raincatcher if u can
>boil worter if u can
>don't eat ice, it makes you thirsty. Instead, melt or boil it. It also has trapped bacteria etc
In general BRING YOUR OWN WORTER!!!!!

really curious where you guys go /out/ where any non-filthy swamphole watersource isnt drinkable? this is just how i was raised and everyone i know does it, you get thirsty along a trail you bend down and slurp straight from a stream or fill your bottle. you have a cabin you get buckets from the lake, river or you dig a well usually right into a small stream and drink that water as it is. no filters, no boiling. only if the water temperature gets into 20c or above for a week or more, and usually only around areas where people bath or lots of cattle/sheep drinks will someone maaaybe get ill. several places here have tap water thats basicly a pipe from the bottom of a lake, a particle filter and nothing more just gravity feed to your tap.

The short answer is "no".
Longer answer is "immunity depends on the toxin or virus and dose level" which you'll have zero control over if you're just drinking from random streams. And in most cases developing resistance to toxins means you're fucking over your liver.

Speaking from my experiences : all streams in the Swiss Alps are contaminated with cow shit and the amebas that feed on cow shit. This also applies to many streams in Southern Ontario. In QC and New England you have to worry about beaver shit and bird shit. In Norway and the Rockies, where you can often see the glacier that's feeding the stream, you'll be much safer.

That's not to say you can't drink from every stream, but you are running a risk of getting sick.

Why wouldn’t you just bring a filter? You can’t get immune to toxins. You can’t get immune to amoeba and other parasites. You could get immune to strains of viruses and bacteria. Waterborne viruses aren’t generally a problem in first world countries, and common backpacking filters won’t filter them out. Filters will filter out bacteria and parasites though, and a sawyer weighs practically nothing. Just carry a filter unless you want to have the worst diarrhea for a couple weeks that you’ve ever experienced.

You don’t have much experience in the outdoors, and that’s okay, but you shouldn’t be giving advice on subjects you don’t know about.

How did people survive before filters?
