In the absence of law, is there any good reason for transactions to be private?

Anarchy is no ruler. Doesn't mean no rules.
Private property and the respect is a rule.
Bad people will always exist.
Also how else would I hide what the gift for my (future) gf is if not for Monero?
In the absence of law, is there any good reason to have curtains over your windows?
Maybe I don't want my wife knowing about a surprise gift I bought her. Or my grandmother knowing I bought drugs.
Privacy and law have little to do with one another.
"if you aren't doing anything wrong, you have nothing to hide."
privacy isn't about hiding deceit or "shameful things." it's about having space without judgment and the ability to decide what others know about you.
you DO want the ability to make decisions for yourself without considering how others would view your actions. that doesn't make you a bad person.
but insisting that others need to do things exactly as you think they should, with the tools and methods you prefer, does make you a bad person. and a bad anarchist.
If I can deduce you have a lot of BTC, I would have reason to try to get them. Especially in absence of law.
