What happens if I send "tainted" Bitcoin to a whale address?

So recently I learned that some KYC exchanges such as CoinBase do not accept Bitcoin from some wallets because they say that Bitcoin from these addresses is tainted (associated with illicit transactions)

My question is: If I sent some tainted BTC to a whale address, would all his Bitcoin become worthless?

and if this is the case, then how to prevent it from happening to me?
