Mars should have formed with as much or more water per unit of mass than Earth according to the basic theories of planetary formation I've read about. It has less per unit area than Earth because the ratio of surface area to volume is 1/r and Earth has a higher radius. To claim Mars does not have water would require a clear loss mechanism.
