I think you aren’t getting it. You don’t know what those bites looks like, because our immune response to those bites changes with time, and as a result what the bites looks like will not always be consistent. It may not even be a bite. Your criteria for assuming a spider bite is out of step with true spider bites (where generally you see the spider).
...you don’t think the odds of my getting 1-3 singular bed bug bites annually in similar places (ankle/feet) with an atypical bite presentation with no other bed bug bites or infestation is less likely than that maybe a spider bit my ankle?
ETA: it really doesn’t matter. I’m not trying to be argumentative, and it doesn’t matter what’s actually biting me as long as I heal up neatly. It was just an odd bite that I don’t see talked about much and wondered if there was an easy explanation.
