That's not a problem. The problem is that if you are not trading with yourself whoever gets your bitcoins has a connection between a physical "you" and and a wallet that "you" used to transfer money. Now the opsec of the transaction depends not only on "you" but also on opsec of that other person. Eventually someone in that path decides it to cooperate with whoever leans on them in the real, not bitcoin world and the security of that stage is blown. Repeat until "you" is discovered.
