no, anonymity was never the goal. the main goal was to create a "decentralized" system that nobody can control so that they can not put their hands in your pocket and/or dictate how you use your own money. and that is how it gives you financial freedom.

I don't think a system like Bitcoin can be safe for users without good anonymity and privacy.
It's definitely built for anonymity if satoshi and early developers/contributors discussed or wanted anonymity ( I really doubt they didn't want anonymity).
Anonymity is a natural and common sense right. If you remove it from physical or virtual world, most innocent people could be totally enslaved/destroyed and both worlds will be dangerous place to be.
You could combine users unique identities with anonymity in a very cryptic way, so that when an anonymous user commits a dangerous crime he/she can be identified.
No one has the right to de-anonimize law abiding people without their consent.

The above is a basic human right as long as the anonymous person remains law abiding. The world is doomed if a technology/technologies to track every single person on the planet is available to evil person/people or intelligent things.

Whatever technology exists in this world, if it is contrary to the law of any party, law enforcement agencies will immediately be interested in this product. Based on this, I believe that it makes no sense to care about anonymity and hide the presence of your cryptocurrency funds, since while you are not engaged in illegal actions with the help of cryptocurrency, nothing threatens the person. even if a person tries to evade taxes, one way or another it threatens with criminal liability. But you correctly said that today the situation with the use of cryptocurrency is very difficult, since cryptocurrency is often used to finance crime. Based on this, I believe that cryptocurrency should not only be supported at the legislative level, but also controlled, in order to avoid any problems. But the main task of Bitcoin, in my opinion, is the exclusion of the possibility of inflation, as it happens with fiat funds. In my opinion, Bitcoin will not allow depreciation of each person’s savings.
