I know money from drugs, robberies, stolen goods, etc is “dirty” but, how does anyone know it’s dirty? Why can’t you just spend your money?

Don’t think of it as money. Think of it as evidence you were involved w/ a crime.
Let’s say you stole cash from your friend. You’re out drinking and pay w/ some of that cash, and your friend sees it and says “hey that looks like my $20. It had a mustache on Jackson just like the one you’re paying with.” Now you’re under investigation. It’s sorta the same as that, but with the police, or FBI. The IRS says it does not care about illegal activity as long as all income is reported. There’s even a spot for it on your taxes. You can believe what you want about if they secretly snitch on you, but the official stance is they do not.
