My take is car camping gear and backpacking gear should be separate. If you go cheap without regard to weight for backpacking, you're going to be miserable schlepping all that weight up steep hills. Also you're cramping yourself unnecessarily in mummy bags and dome tents for car camping. Not saying it's impossible, and a lot of people do exactly what you're doing. But there are better ways.
What I would do instead:
Dedicated car camping tent with stand up room. This is your house. Now you can bring chairs and a little table inside for dinner if it's cold or raining or if bugs are biting. You can stand up to dress or bathe.
Very cheap rectangular sleeping bags. Roomy and comfortable. Get two each. If one isn't warm enough, unzip the second and use it as a quilt on top. VERY warm.
I really like a tri-fold pad for car camping, but if you're trying to streamline your car camping gear, maybe get two each of these simple foam pads. I backpacked with a foam pad for years. Use just one for backpacking.
I really like freeze dried food even for car camping, because it saves on dish washing. All you need is one simple pot to boil water and add to the bag, then you can eat off paper plates and bowls once it's ready just like a picnic. Note this simple pot is good for backpacking too.
All you need for your "stove" for car camping is this and two old bricks set at a 90 degree angle to block the wind and support your pot. I get $359.37 and you're a lot more comfortable.
Now, when you get ready for backpacking:
Spend most of your money up front and early on a good down sleeping bag and a very light shelter.
Yes, you can use those bags for car camping if you must. A rectangular bag makes a better top quilt, but you could get cheap rect bags for car camping and use the down ones unzipped as top quilts. Then you would still have leg room. The tent would be unnecessarily cramped though.
Buy all your other gear first, before your pack. When you're ready to get your packs, measure your gear in a box so you know what volume to get. Now go to an REI store and get your torso measured and buy a pack around $100. They have good stuff. Don't worry.
Make or improvise the rest of your backpacking gear from this list. You don't have to be a millionaire to have a nice light gear set for backpacking. I get $698.96 for your "big three", but that's with double everything for the two of you.
If you don't want to spend that much on two separate gear sets, maybe buy all backpacking gear + a car camping tent. Upgrade to a backpacking tent later. The tent is the main thing that will cramp you for car camping.
