Again, the whole problem is that the bad actor can pass off their stolen bitcoin before anyone knows its tainted. So it doesn't matter if you didn't use a mixer, if that bitcoin ever went through a mixer it could potentially be a live hand grenade. People could just mix large numbers of bitcoin periodically so everything is suspect.
You're not solving the problem, you are just introducing new problems that affect other people in the hopes that the entire system becomes unworkable.

In much the same sense that you could abandon your house when you have termites: you're not solving the problem, you're just avoiding it in an incredibly inefficient manner.
