And you might also go through a small town at 11:00 pm and find no restaurant open at all, so should be pass laws making restaurants open 24/7 to stop that inconvenience as well?
Are you seriously confused about the difference between these two cases?

The government already makes decisions on things like what is taxable, where liquor can and can't be served, when tobacco can be sold or used, where guns can be taken, so yes, the government can come up with a list of essential services, and if you provide any of those essential services in you business, you most accommodate everyone.
And again I ask you, is that a good use of government resources?
The bakery is private, not public. And it may serve the public (at it's own discretion) but the public doesn't pay for it (not in tax dollars).
No you see the bakery may be a privately owned business but it advertises its services to the public at large. Therefore they must accommodate the public in selling their products to all.
A pool owned by a private citizen on his own land is not at all synonymous with a private business that advertises publicly.
The civil rights movement was about government sponsored sanctions against black citizens. If the bakery was government run, it would be the same, but since it's not, it's quite different.

However, it is the public utilities that allow the swimming pool to function.
What difference does it make if a company advertises?

Titles II and III of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibited discrimination in public accommodations, including restaurants, hotels, theaters, stores and so on, and public facilities, in interstate commerce.

Of course, but the main issue was the government mandated discrimination.
