As a kid I thought people were saying bond fire since it's where people bond and have a good time.

In compounds, words didn’t go through the same sound shift like single words which is why -ton is pronounced differently from town. That also applies to -ham, which is basically a doublet of home, that has gone through a complete sound shift aka the Great Vowel Shift.

Growing up I thought it was “bond fire” because it was a ritualistic/ceremonial fire done to commemorate the relationship between two or more people

I always thought good fire as they're made for fun and enjoyment at social gatherings.

The image you used is a campfire. A bonfire is fueled by pallets or full trees.
Also, wouldn't "bone fire" imply a pyre too?

Burning bones is the only fire hot enough to make pottery strong enough to be break resistant.

Not exactly...in autumn, bones of harvested animals were burned because bone ash makes excellent fertilizer. They'd compost it over the winter and use it for next spring's planting. But humans like to have a party for everything and it became a big deal.

It doesn't have to be human bones. Bonfires have kind of an autumnal feel to them. If they really are associated with fall, then it would make sense that they were for all the animal bones from the autumn slaughter. People used to slaughter a lot of their livestock in the fall, since the animals were likely to die over the winter anyway, and preserve the meet various ways. Burning the bones would reduce them to a form where they could be used in spring to fertilize the fields with.

"SOMEONE'S" bones? People bones, not animal from cooking?
That seems strangely specific.

Sometimes, looking up an English word in another living language rather than in one of English’s deceased predecessors can be more helpful in discovering etymology… in Irish, the term for bonfire is tine chnámh (👂thinneh cnawv, with a hard th sound and a soft throated C sound) which literally means bone fire
