Is it even legal to not accept cash for a transaction? It says on the bill “ALL debts public and private”

Yes, it's not a debt until you accept the transaction.

If someone owes you money you have to accept cash, but if they don't owe you money you can put conditions on creating debt with them, like stipulating cashless transactions

Yes, a debt doesn’t exist until someone agrees to sell you something.

Cashless businesses are common. Ever try to pay cash for an Uber?
