@Agabi10 I don't think that's an issue in practice. Wikipedia tells a user on top of the page that they are redirected. I have created dozen's of redirects and haven't seen one getting removed.

Redirects aren't only useful for the Bonnie and Clyde for interwiki links. Even if all languages decides to have "Bonnie and Clyde" articles instead of separate "Bonnie" and Clyde" articles it's still useful for a user who browses the Wikidata entry of "Bonnie" to go via the redirect to the "Bonnie and Clyde" article.

Take an article like https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_Stra%C3%9Fen_und_Pl%C3%A4tze_in_Berlin-Halensee that lists individual streets in a small part of Berlin. The individual streets are notable according to Wikidata standards but not notable according to de.Wikipedia standards.

Finally, if you think that's a problem that there's no indicator in Wikidata that it's a redirect link, that problem is easily solved by adding an icon in front of the link that indicates that it's a redirect.
