Furthermore it catastrophically FAILS to take into account the reasons for the ban, why it was introduced and in what context. Very shoddy.
Why do you still think it matters what you remember or think is normal? Why do you think you have a right to tell other people how to dress?

thats why they were designed was it not, for swimming? can you think of any other reason why someone would wear a burkini?
Still, my question was: why does it matter only on beaches that someone wears "religious attire"?

Have you had a look at French secular laws? No? then I suggest you start there.

It contains an assumption based on ignorance of French secular law pertaining to the wearing of religious garb and assumes that it is relevant exclusively on beaches. This is not the case.
The French law on secularity and conspicuous religious symbols in schools bans wearing conspicuous religious symbols in French public (i.e. government-operated) primary and secondary schools.

Please do yourself and me a favour and read about French secular law and religious attire because I have no desire to battle against ignorance.
