my large plate glass mirrors have water damage on the bottom and I would like to cut them into other sizes and cut off the damage

How about framing them to cover up the damage? That may be a bit easier. https://www.hometalk.com/diy/bathroom/mirrors/how-to-frame-a-mirror-with-wood-flooring-33790077
How To Frame A Mirror With Wood Flooring
Call around to glass companies. They go out on jobs all the time and will gladly fit you in on a day out. Be sure to give them a place to work on cutting the mirror. I had a 5 x 6 mirror with a bad corner and it didn't take but a few minutes for the service guy to cut the mirror for me.
You could take them to a glass shop and have them cut or could put a frame around the mirror and cover the damage.
I would have a replacement glass/window company do this. They have the right tools and safety mechanisms so there is no waste, they can cut to exact dimensions, and there is no chance of injury.
I agree with having a pro do this...if they accidentally break it, they will replace it, and you know how expensive they are to replace.
