... I can't see why uploading ID would be a problem if your not using Bitcoin inappropriately ...
The problem is that it is up to them (with the guidance of the U.S. government) to decide what is appropriate, not you. For example, here is the official list of activities (supposedly now defunct) which were considered "inappropriate": Ammunition Sales Cable Box De-scramblers Coin Dealers Credit Card Schemes Credit Repair Services Dating Services Debt Consolidation Scams Drug Paraphernalia Escort Services Firearms Sales Fireworks Sales Get Rich Products Government Grants Home-Based Charities Life-Time Guarantees Life-Time Memberships Lottery Sales Mailing Lists/Personal Info Money Transfer Networks On-line Gambling Pawn Shops Payday Loans Pharmaceutical Sales Ponzi Schemes Pornography Pyramid-Type Sales Racist Materials Surveillance Equipment Telemarketing Tobacco Sales Travel Clubs
Coinbase has a list like this. If they believe you are involved in any activities on their list, they will file a Suspicious Activity Report on you. They might also ban you.

Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

No, that is just a bunch of illegal and sketchy stuff. Bitcoin can be used for everything else that isn't banned and is legit. Bitcoin can be used for everything that fiat can be used for as well. Just so you know, that list doesn't apply just to Bitcoin, it applies to fiat as well.

Just so you know, that list doesn't apply just to Bitcoin, it applies to fiat as well. I don't think you actually read the list. You feel that coin dealers, dating services, firearm sales, money transfer networks, online gambling, pornography, and surveillance equipment are all illegal or sketchy?

I read most of it. Probably should have said most of them are illegal and sketchy. But online gambling can be illegal, porn is kinda sketchy, and so is surveillance equipment depending on the equipment being sold. Firearm sales are kinda illegal, depends on the firewarms, and money transfer networks seem pretty sketchy. Coin dealers could be scams and have some sketchiness in them and dating services don't particularly seem safe to me as your date could be dangerous, so kinda sketchy.

When I purchase my coins via a service that sends the coins direct to my PC wallet, or simply withdraw coins from an exchange, I let them go through Bitmixer first, to get fresh coins in return. This way I don't have to worry about my privacy.
What do you mean by bitmixer? Are you talking about something like blockchain? And how does that help with privacy? What about VPN's? Thanks!

bitmixer is a coin mixing service. They make it very difficult for someone to trace your coins so it provides anonymity. VPNs and Tor won't help since IP addresses do not have a part in the Bitcoin network.

VPN and Tor can hide your using IP associated with the transactions since we know some tools can track the IP of transactions then know your location.

There is nothing (short of a sybil attack) that can track the IP address that a transaction originated from. Transactions do not contain the IP address of the sender, it is not necessary information. Block explorers like blockchain.info only report the IP address of the node that first relayed the transaction to them, not the IP address from which the transaction originated.
