Bitumen is naturally occurring and leaks into many lakes/rivers. I guess by your method of thinking it is fine to put it in a lake?
Ash although it can potentially enter a lake naturally isn't good for the ecosystem. Ash and partially burnt wood can easily be considered waste and depositing waste products into water is illegal, that is why it is illegal to put egg shells in the water and they do less damage then ash.
Leaving wood pieces also leaves floating debris that boaters hit in the spring/summer.
All it takes to do things properly is to take a base for your fire and then dispose of your ash/wood once done.
