Off with your head!* Bitcoin revolutionizes illegal actions -- does it hold your interest?
-snip-
If you cannot see any reason for anonymity other than illegal activities, then you have a very narrow scope of imagination.
Wrong. There's a reason for which Bitcoin is pseudo-anonymous and you obviously aren't seeing it.

Misinterpreting words much yourself? I most certainly did NOT claim that there is no reason for Bitcoin to be pseudo-anonymous. Though perhaps you might enlighten by explaining exactly what you see as the reason for something such as Bitcoin to be pseudo-anonymous. What benefit, exactly, does this bring in your estimation?

My claim was there are reasons other than illegal activities for true anonymity - an assertion by which I stand. Are you denying this assertion?

DASH/Monero/similar coins can't become legal...

Perhaps you've not been paying attention. In my little corner of the universe DASH, Monero, and similar coins ARE fully legal. I don't know where you live where the so-called authorities have proclaimed that they are punishable by fine, imprisonment, or both.

...and regulated properly because of their anonymous nature.

All the regulation that such a coin needs is accomplished by its algorithmic rulesets.

Incidentally, if you want me to 'stop misinterpreting your words', you are going to have to be more clear about writing exactly what you mean.
