By trying to create a bump map from a colour texture, you are trying to answer the question "What is the relationship between colour and the variations of surface height ?"

The answer (which people attempting to do this haven't realised) is that you get low grade noise (due to the small variations in colour).
You'd achieve more or less the same effect by using the scaled down output from a noise node.
