Then what would you call a natural waterway that is too small to be a
stream?
Two possibilities.
1) A stream.
2) Not worth mapping.
Take your pick. :)

Well, call it micromapping if you want, but I've mapped many of these in
the midwestern US. I do most of my mapping in the country, and
sometimes these are the only features to map in a certain area without
the map being blank. I have been tagging them as drains, because they
are too small to be called a stream, and they are not artificial, so
they are not ditches. (At least in the OSM sense.) Many of them start
out as being just a swale in a farmer's field, where they are usually
intermittent. Many of them are named.
