Please share your sources.

And, just assuming you are right, those coffers are full of untaxed revenue from EU markets.

The record fines were levied on US firms.

Are you suggesting that it's legitimate to fine US companies on antitrust grounds to supplement tax revenue?

It's legitimate to fine US companies breaking antitrust laws. If that happens to supplement tax revenue that's an extra benefit.
