If a site hosts copyrighted material without the approval of the copyright holder, wouldn't the site be the one to get the Copyright Removal Requests? How does google get involved? Google can't remove the copyrighted material, so why would google get the Copyright Removal Requests?

The article linked in the OP links to
this page of the Google Transparency Report, which says:

Google regularly receives requests from copyright owners and reporting organizations that represent them to remove search results that link to material that allegedly infringes copyrights. Each request names specific URLs to be removed, and we list the domain portions of URLs requested to be removed under specified domains.

Google aren't asked to remove copyrighted material, they're asked to remove links to copyrighted material.
