I'm coming into this conversation late; please forgive me if I'm saying
something that's irrelevant or obvious to everyone.  (I did check older
messages, but only a dozen or so.)  Also, I might be being somewhat
innacurate -- my comment is based on what I remember from learning
metric in the 1970s.

The link for a meter, or rather a centimeter, is mathematical rather
than physical: a cubic centimeter is a milliliter.  I don't know how
this relates to the redefinitions -- do they implicitly redefine a
liter?  What's the dependency -- is a milliliter based on a centimeter,
and a gram on a milliliter, or is it reversed, or neither?

Bother.  I was trying to supply an answer, and instead I've asked more
questions.

Whoever taught you that is trying to confuse you. A cubic centimeter
measures volume. A milimeter measures length. So the two are not
interchangeable. One centimeter is 10 milimeters. Therefore one cubuc
centimeter is 10^3 = 1000 cubic milimeters.
