Note that just because you are taking off, you still must
comply with the regulations.

Huh? According to the beginning of 91.119, parts a, b, and c *do not
apply*
during takeoff or landing. If they did apply, then it would be illegal
for
you to land on a runway whenever another plane is holding short less than
500' from your flight path!

key word, necessary... or was the take-off necessary.

No, that's not a sensible parsing of the qualifier "Except when necessary
for takeoff or landing".

A takeoff is virtually never necessary. So if 91.119 meant what you think it
does, then you'd be forbidden to take off from a runway if your flight path
would bring you within 500' of another aircraft that's on the ground near
the runway (on a parallel taxiway, for example). Is that really the rule you
follow when you fly?
