I worked for identity theft protection, and we did not use anyone's names for this, because that information is too widely available. We did use date of birth, but that was more to make sure we had the right jane doe prior to the real identity theft protection. Now associating a name with an address or phone number is a little worse...but not much because that's also way too readily available. It's the social security number that must be protected at all cost. More to the point for this question old photos are not useful in identity theft.

If you don't like pictures of yourself or your kids posted online, that's fine, but what is the actual risk of doing so? I don't buy the teasing thing; kids have been teasing each other since long before the internet was invented, and even if they don't have baby pictures of your kid they'll find other things to tease each other about. You say "Anyone born after today will always be tracked like this." So what is it you're trying to protect against?
