Studies regularly find shocking levels of faecal bacteria on all sorts of surfaces in public places and around typical homes, so that indicates you're fairly normal in being a dirtbag with poor personal hygiene habits.
You could safely eat your own shit if you wanted to; any pathogens in the faeces are ones you already have, so recycling them to the upper end of the digestive tract isn't going to give you a disease or make you any sicker.
Leaving aside the aesthetic benefits of removing smelly crap from your hands, washing your hands after a bowel movement is primarily a benefit to others. It's entirely possible for people to be asymptomatic carriers of diseases and for their poor hygiene habits to spread the illness to others - Typhoid Mary is probably the best known example.
It's obviously highly unlikely that you're a typhoid carrier, but it is possible that you've had food poisoning of one sort or another in the past, and while your immune system dealt with this efficiently enough that you didn't experience any serious symptoms, you passed the illness on to others by touching things or handling food with a hand that was contaminated with your stool.
Not washing your hands after a bowel movement is just a couple of steps less antisocial than the idiocy of walking around in public without a mask and coughing or sneezing in the proximity of others when there's any possibility at all that you might be infected with SARS-CoV-2.
Also when you flush fecal bacteria go all over the bathroom and on you anyway. There's no getting away from it. Like you said there's shit on everything.
I don't wash my hands after I take a poop
