Sorry but, a person does not suddenly start walking around naked because, after 82 years, his clothing 'chafes' him. Nor does he defecate and/or urinate on the carpet and expect his housekeeper to clean his carpets afterward, refuse to wear underwear, etc.

If it has not happened already, your father needs a full medical evaluation including a cognition exam; a MoCA or SLUMS exam takes about 15 minutes and will evaluate his cognitive abilities and score him from 1-30 so you'll know where he stands and get a baseline. If he truly does not have dementia, you can get him to a geriatric psychiatrist for a professional evaluation about his mental health.

In our society, we're expected to wear clothing and use the toilet; that's just the way it is. If we decide to detour from those habits, a medical evaluation is the next step.

Wishing you the best of luck getting your dad a medical workup asap.

Have you told him that you aren't going to hang out with your naked dad?

I think I would buy him a silk bathrobe for father's day. It doesn't chafe and will provide you some comfort when dealing with him.
