You can see even with Biden as president, around half of Europe's population regarded the US unfavorably. This was at a time when the US was sending more aid per capita than almost all European countries:

There's no point in trying to please these people. They'll accuse the US of warmongering one year, then demand that the US help them fight a war the next year.

Remember that Trump also had a term before Biden where he undermined cross-atlantic relations.
Under Obama you had the reputational fallout from the Snowden leaks.
Before Obama you had Bush Jr's wars, with especially the Iraq war being very controversial.
The very statistic you presented, shows that the USA was seen as neutral, slightly favorable. The fact that there is now an unprecedented animosity towards the emerging autocracy of the USA, does not mean there were no issues before. They just pale in comparison.
You didn't give me enough good grades for my actions, therefore I run amok now, doesn't sound like healthy behaviour.
