"Surely if mixing these two chemicals were so dangerous they just wouldn't be allowed to sell them"

(Acid + bleach is especially bad, since the acid/base neutralization reaction itself is extremely dangerous -- it gets boiling hot and releases gas rapidly enough to potentially explode -- even ignoring that the chlorine waste product is toxic)

(And a lot of people don't realize that, say, commercial drain cleaner you get from Home Depot can in fact contain very strong acid -- sulfuric or hydrochloric acid And *other* drain cleaners clean the drain using strong alkali like bleach, or lye)
