How did this end up in Canada's Constitutional Charter of Rights and Freedoms: "Parliament has the power to regulate against nuisances, but not at the cost of the health, safety and lives of the prostitutes."

What is in the Charter is the right to safety and that seems to be what the defendants are arguing. That the prohibition is creating a safety issue and is therefore a Charter violation.
