How does stealth work? Why can’t we just tune radars to look for very fast ‘bumblebees’?

I was watching a youtube video about the b2 this morning. It mentions that while it’s not completely invisible to radar, it only has a cross section about the size of a bee. It says that radars have to fine tune their displays to only show larger objects or else it would be too cluttered.

I guess my question is, why can’t they tune their displays to only show objects moving faster than ~ 300 mph?

[Here’s the video](https://youtu.be/flwgwIRo_lk?si=xPi0_KmW0rhA4mV6&t=150) if that’s allowed.
