- Did you poop? or Have you pooped?
- Did you pee? or Have you peed?

Depends on what you mean, "did" is to some action wich is finished (and so its effect) or the effect is not what you are emphasizing at the time of the question.
"Have" to focus on the effect (that is still lasting) or to show the action is not finished, or is still in play.
So, you could say both, context-wise of course (it goes with you are thinking at the time).
But then, I think the more usual would be "have you peed?" (you still have/feel the effect that is wetness).

No P. Perfect, tudo se resume a "Depende". Depende da sua intenção, do at em si. Use have no caso de ainda houver possibilidade da pessoa voltar e pegar a bendita lancheira (already implícito na frase), do contrário, use did, pois não há mais possibilidade de completar o ato de "take the lunchbox".

Vou mudar o contexto. Imagine que meu filho está embarcando na van pra ir pra escola e eu grito pra ele:
- Pego a lancheira?
- Did you take the lunchbox?
or
- Have you taken the luchbox?
