To start the amount being removed is absolutely minuscule compared to the amount around. On top of that close to the surface (which is where even the tall turbines are relative to the full scale of things) we're only seeing a tiny fraction of the actual energy in the atmosphere due to surface friction slowing down winds near the surface. And yeah even if we were actually capturing any appreciable amount of the energy most of it does become waste heat once it's used so it just enters back somewhere else.
