Does a low bandwidth signal going through a hdmi cable that supports that bandwidth improve in any way going through a higher bandwidth cable instead?

Obviously it wouldn't increase the bandwidth, I was was wondering if it would affect anything else?

Digital cables either work or they don't for the resolution + refreshrate + colors bits.
So if it shows up, then it's working and you won't get a better signal from 1 cable vs another if the bandwidth supports it.

If the bandwidth is within the limit for a 2.0 cable, a 2.1 cable won’t make the quality/connection more stable or clean or anything, it will be practically the same?

You’re not understanding digital signals. Either it gets through as it should, 100%, or it doesn’t. 0 or 1. True or false. Yes or no. There is no ‘cleanliness’ to digital signals. It’s either working or not working.
You’re thinking in terms of analog signals, which do work the way you’re describing, but which we’ve moved on from ages ago.

But would it be better at reducing interference?

Interference is entirely dependent on shielding, which has nothing to do with bandwidth.

what is it supposed to do better? the signal gets through and is decoded properly, or it doesn't and isn't. the latter is very obvious. it's not like an analog signal where you can get degrees of \~works, but isn't perfect.
