We can tap for yard sales and homeless people
People include gift cards in birthday cards or etransfer

Oh no, what will i do without a ceramic pig
Last 4 points I’m sure you can figure out also aren’t true
And if you’re worried about being tracked then surely you don’t use a phone/go online/appear in public
We need cash but these are just silly reasons and hurt the idea more than they help
Some people already live in a cashless (and moneyless) society already - the homeless and those who are incarcerated. Also children. They tend to barter and trade for stuff. It's not that crazy of an idea, most people figure it out.

I've been cashless for about a decade now. I have no problem with donating money, giving or recieving monay as a gift. I never give the homeless money, but I often buy them food. Why couldn't you buy or sell something to people? You can easily transfer someone a small sum of money using their phone number. Same with garage sales. When was the last time You saw a Piggy Bank?
