But chain of narrators being trustworthy is not the sole criterion. Otherwise one of the criteria would not have been that the tradition should not cnotradict Quran.

So you are saying Fasting as Jewish used to fast on Ashura is in contradiction with Quran? Quran gives example of previous nations in the Ayat in which Allah made Ramdhan fasting mandatory.
It is Allah’s deen, Judaism was also Allah’s deen. So if Allah continued the tradition (same as for Zabihah and many other things), it is not surprised. The purpose of fasting is to cleanse ourselves and to offer thanksgiving, composed by Allah as an act of worship for us. Same is the fasting on 9 ZilHajja and 9/10 of Muharram. Celebration and Jubilation are two different things. There are two days for jubiliation for Muslims Eid’ain.
