I might be completely off base, but have you tried _not_ having it take-from-links-only?  I would think just dumping stuff onto the tile wouldn't count properly, so it would still be considered "loose" and thus get jobs to properly put it away.  But I could be mis-remembering how that option works.

Dumping "properly" with a dump zone or a minecart causes items to be considered to be in the stockpile (that's how quantum stockpiling works), apart from barrels and pots, which get hauled back to the source stockpile after having been dumped (and possibly transported) by a minecart.

You could, for testing
desactivate other stockpiles.
Make a quantum stockpile with minecart.
When half of the things is there stop it and dump the rest to an other.
Then see if both or Dfhack only stockpile will be emptied to the reactivated bin piles

You shouldn't need to touch the QSP settings, as long as they are set to take from links only they can accept everything.
Your other piles for the most part shouldn't be accepting those same items, unless you specifically want them to take from the QSP (and set them to take from it).
Bins are pure evil and should be destroyed and disallowed from all piles. My guess would be place items in bins is some kind of higher priority stockpile task.
