Why? It's just a record of a group of letters, not your soul. I upload my dna records everywhere I can. Sure I had some surprises but in general I benefit from those services.

Only gotta last 80 years, it's pretty rational given the constraints. The what-ifs are unlikely to materialize at all, low probability to happen to you, and avoiding them if they do materialize requires that neither you nor any of your relatives submit their dna or have any contact with the justice system ever.
DNA is already protected from use by insurance companies so that's a future harm that already got squashed.
Funny you picked 80 years. It's been roughly 80 years since members of a certain ethnic group were hunted down, corralled, and murdered because of their lineage and genetics.
And their murderers mostly only had census data and people willing to snitch on their neighbors to go on. A DNA database? Oof.
The religion on census data of people living in the netherlands also was just a bunch of letters, till the Nazis invaded, then suddenly the bunch of letters got another meaning.
What the Nazis would have done if they had gotten their fingers onto such a ddatabase is anybodies guess.
