I agree with gwern's answers and will add a couple of my own.

Dorian Nakamoto theory may have any ground?

No, I doubt it.

Why is anonimity important to crypto community?

  1. We think it's cool because the technology falls out of our field of research.
  2. Anonymity provides privacy and security against physical violence, and cryptographers tend to care about privacy and security.
