> If you believe you own your body and the labor you produce, why would anyone else (including the state) have a right to your body's production?

Because others contribute to your body's production. Your position only works if you are truly prepared to ask nothing from the state - not defense, not roads, not clean water, not law enforcement. Most people who take the "taxation is theft" position don't recognize how much they benefit from the existence of the state.
