@Jay

Well, her gem was broken and could not fly, and her "home" was in outer space, the only logical thing she could think of, after being trapped in the mirror for so long, was go there using things she could do such as control the water to at least reach her destination, it was either that or ask the ones who had apparently trapped her knowing that she would probably be subdued if she did.

And to the points you mentioned,

-Both towers had reached the atmosphere of the Earth 

It would have been counter intuitive for Lapis to dig underground knowing her home was in outerspace, so ofc the elevator would reach the atmosphere (even beyond that), as this was the only thing she could do with her being weak, broken and angry to reach her destination. Both were buil on completely different reasons, Finn building the tower to get revenge and Lapis building the elevator to reach home. The tower to space trope wasn't exactly created by AT either, it's actually quite common in most cartoons.

-''Both had suspensful endings, Lapis flying into space and Finn's father appearing when he had been the reason Finn lost his arm. ''

I saw Lapis flying into space not on a suspensful note but on a serene one, one where in a gem trapped for so long and was not able to go home finally found absolution by the hands of an innocent young boy, who risked everything to calm her down. If Lapis had said "Thank you for healing me, I can finally go back home and . . . . just you wait, I'll come back here and exact my revenge on those who wronged me *insert maniacal laugh here*" then flies into space (or something of the sort) then it would have been more suspensful. When Garnet and Pearl were chatting and Garnet said "Now we wait . . ." that was more of suspensful as it gives someone anticipation of what's to come, knowing that anything could happen.

-Used the phrase "No Prob Bob", Which has been used in AT

Is a common phrase, and AT didn't invent it, though it has been used a lot in the said show, the phrase being copied from AT is very subjective

-''Both episodes had relations to water, Ex: Erin the cloud person and Lapis who can control water. ''

This may be stretching it out a bit. And is completely subjective. BTW the only cloud person in "The Tower" was Carroll. And yes, both had relations to water but in AT it had a very minor roll, it only told the backstory of Carroll, in SU the water from the ocean was the major plot device in the story as it was one of the reasons Steven embarked on the adventure to see Lapis against all odds.

- Also, there's a place called the  Crystal Dimension in Adventure Time and she probably got the idea of Steven Universe from that.

Quite unlikely.

-''And they copied the Spongebob episode Bubble Buddy. ''

Ever heard of referencing? Though it is quite ironic that in the episode Spongebob didn't want his bubble friend to pop, while Steven and Connie wanted so despirately to pop the bubble inclosing them.

As Lilduders said, SU does not blatantly copy elements of another show such as AT but merely references them. If Steven had blond hair, a white bear cap, blue shirt and shorts, green bag and black shoes, then that could be considered copying. But SU only gives us subtle obvious hints as to what they are trying to show us.

Now, most of my post is probably biased in some of your eyes, but this is just the way I see it and is my opinin on the matter. You are free to agree or disagree with me.

BTW, I LOVE both shows.
