Isn’t the Mikveh as described in the Torah the inspiration for the sacrament of water baptism in the New Testament?

No.

It’s for feminine cleansing after their monthly cycle. Thus the need for flowing water.

Baptism’s do not require flowing water and are not cleansing the lower female parts from normal discharge.

Yup. I sort of cringed when I read Jewish life in Oświęcim...
