Ideal fungibility would mean any unit is indistinguishable from another. Bitcoin has unique transaction histories making it's fungibility worse than Monero.
They can be priced differently based on that. They already are with freshly mined Bitcoin and "tainted" histories.
Dollars are more fungible because it's full history of ownership and transactions aren't visible despite being serialized.
Gold can be serialized, but can be melted back down.
In the crypto world through ZKPs
You can argue the importance of fungibility vs the other qualities of money, but an ideal money would be perfectly fungible and have all the other properties you listed.
