You're saying if I sell 1BTC on Bisq and I suddenly get $20,000 via bank transfer, which on other days doesn't happen too often, the bank is going to ask questions? I mean, you could just reply to those questions honestly and say you bought BTC at a certain earlier point in time and sold it online. I don't think it would be a big issue; it's going to be similar to buying (or selling) another expensive item like a car.

I would always choose payment in cash for trading like this, this option is also available in Bisq face-to-face, or accept several smaller payments in your bank accounts, in different time periods.
It's a good idea to some choose crowded public place for this trade, and not some dark corner of the night.
You can buy a car and most things, unless it's lamborgini or something super expensive that would attract lot of attention.

That's not always possible. For one, what are you going to do with that huge pile of cash afterwards? Buying something else with cash (like, another car at a dealership) will require proving source of funds. I mentioned in the past on this forum, that trying to buy a car over 10,000€ with cash required proving source of funds.
Further, are you willing to accept 1BTC worth of cash without checking it? A bank is usually a good way to check the money is good; either meet with the buyer at their bank and have them withdraw the money in front of you (that would work) or you go to your bank and try depositing it. But that won't work if you want to skip the bank altogether.

I don't think it matters. They know banks are used by criminals, but banks consider money from other banks clean.

Isn't this banking system weird all together?
There is no magical formula that turns money from dirty to clean, it's just numbers on screen and they all have history to show if you go back enough.
It's just some dudes with seating in chair central control station saying what is clean and what is not.
Oh and they also control offshore banks, when they need them Cheesy

It's absurd, for sure. Just the fact that they get bailed out if they make bad business decisions, using taxpayer money, while every other business doesn't. Or the fact that they just buy politicians and nobody turns an eye; while it's essentially simply bribing. Or, as you say; that they define 'taint' without having an easily linkable history of funds like the Bitcoin blockchain does. What's also absurd is that I can't talk to a representative if it's weekend, if it's too early or too late, if it's a national holiday and probably many more cases; which means it's disfunctional 50% of the time. It's just a bad system. (rant over)
