The thing with Hillary was that she was already distrusted by many democrats as a result of the primaries. Biden didn't enjoy the same disfavor.
Ironically, the dirt that was thrown at Biden didn't stick (imo) because there was literally just too many unsupported allegations. It seems like every day was a new theory. Normally, this isn't an issue, the media tends to pick the big one and run with it (e.g., Benghazi). Here, it should have been the Hunter Biden theory. By virtue of Trump not being able to shut up on Twitter, however, all of these theories were endorsed equally.
That's why in law you don't throw everything you have at the jury. You pick what's most solid and run with that. The kitchen sink approach very rarely works, it tends to just dilute your most probative evidence.
You're assuming those scandals are actually "dirt." Most of that stuff was either unsupported or discredited (e.g., spygate). The one thing that could have possibly been run with was the Hunter laptop, but it was drowned out by the other nonsense.
