Mihawk's bounty is pretty easy to defend. He is WSS. Period. He doesn't need anything else.
Crocodile is the trick one.
Luffy defeated him with frozen bounty of 80mi and got a new bounty of 100mi.
We learned from Yonko defeat that in a team work the responsibles get the amount above of the defeated bounty(was I clear?). So Luffy, Kid and Law are 3bi bounty each because 9bi is bigger than Kaido + Big Mom bounties together.
Using the same principle we also learn that 1bi is bigger than Doflamingo's true bounty(since 340mi was a frozen one) since Law and Luffy got 500mi bounty each after defeated Doflamingo.
With Crocodile it is straigth forward 1v1. So all we know is that Crocodile true bounty is less than 100mi. So we can't say that WG used to think of Crocodile as that big of a threat back then.
After Marineford Crocodile showed incredible feats, equally clashing with Doflamingo, Mihawk and slowing down Akainu while also saving Ace for a brief moment. But not something that would make his bounty increase.
So in reallity all we know that have boosted Crocodile's bounty is the creation of Cross Guild. We don't know anything else that he did after Marineford besides that.
Or do we? We know that Crocodile destroyed ships to help Buggy. We expected those ships to have SSG inside them. If that is true than Crocodile and Daz Bones alone destroyed SSG could result in a huge boost in his bounty since SSG were made to dismade Shichibukai system.
Basically WG is saying that SSG are a bigger threat than YC1's(if they were at pirates sides for example). And Crocodile is even above that.

Hmm ok
Teach did scar an on guard shanks at least so that's at least something
Who said he was on guard? And that was at past. Even Shanks and Buggy had the same level at one day.

Blackbeards bounty is low because they went "ayo didn't he job to Magellan?"
Magellan is Admiral Level. Respect my man.

Mihawks the world strongest swordsman who went around hunting marines to prove his strength
Crocodile has become a rich underworld broker and likely has hunted marines and who knows how powerful he’s become since the timeskip
Mihawk hunted marines before being a Shichibukai. I really doubt they would let a Shichibukai hunt marines without removing his title.
It is said at manga that Crocodile became a rich underworld broker?
Even though I don't see any of those information making Crocodile new Yonko bounty(Teach). Maybe because we lack of other people bounty like other Shichibukais, Dragon etc. I can only measure Crocodile with Commanders like Katakuri, King, Marco but I know that captains bounty are higher than what should be by his individual threat.
