The point is to parse the input into a structure which always upholds the predicates you care about so you don't end up continuously defensively programming in ifs and asserts.

In order to be useful, type systems need to be simple, but there's no such restrictions on rules that govern our expectations of data correctness.
OP is delusional if they think that their approach can be made practical. I mean, what if the expectation from the data that an value is a prime number? -- How are they going to encode this in their type systems? And this is just a trivial example.
There are plenty of useful constraints we routinely expect in message exchanges that aren't possible to implement using even very elaborate type systems. For example, if we want to ensure that all ids in XML nodes are unique. Or that the last digit of SSN is a checksum of the previous digits using some complex formula. I mean, every Web developer worth their salt knows that regular expressions are a bad idea for testing email addresses (which would be an example of parsing), and it's really preferable to validate emails by calling a number of predicates on them.
And, of course, these aren't the only examples: password validation (the annoying part that asks for capital letter, digit, special character? -- I want to see the author implement a parser to parse possible inputs to password field, while also giving helpful error messages s.a. "you forgot to use a digit"). Even though I don't doubt it's possible to do that, the resulting code would be an abomination compared to the code that does the usual stuff, i.e. just checks if a character is in a set of characters.
Meanwhile, people with more than one bit in their worldview RAM can fall back to validation when it's the only option that makes sense for their domain, and use parsing when it's appropriate, which is, notwithstanding your handful of frankly niche examples compared to the vast bulk of CRUD code, most of the time in practice.
