That is not the definition of fungible. You can put a mark on a USD$100 bill and trace it, but it still has the same value as any other USD$100 bill, or 5 20$ bills, etc.
Then why does Coinbase lock accounts of people to transfer to darknet markets or such?
If you had the choice of receiving BTC from a brand new minted batch, or from a darknet market, which would you prefer? If you have a preference, then they do not have the same value.
I would value BTC from a darknet market less because of risks associated with spending it.
I would value freshly-minted BTC because it doesn't have any question about its providence.
