Money laundering is about hiding illegal actions by faking the source of the money.

Generally speaking, it makes sense to me that a society wants to make that difficult.

If the underlying action is illegal, then go after the underlying action, LOL. How many millions of innocents have to suffer for one crook to be caught?

To use your own words back at you, generally speaking, it makes sense that a society wants to make the lives of its citizens easier, not more convoluted.

The truth about money laundering is a label used by the government to repress innocent individuals by burdening them under regulations.
