Did you upgrade or install as new? If the former, consider setting up as new and see how that works for you. I haven’t had that kind of problem and I upgraded.

I just updated to Big Sur the normal way but ran into some issues, what I usually do for a clean install is to use Internet Recovery (Option-Command-R). Strangely, when I open Internet Recovery it refers me back to Catalina. Is that normal? Since this doesn't work (it doesn't allow me to reformat the main drive) I used the regular Recovery mode instead.

Someone can correct me if I am wrong here but, I believe the recovery partition only changes to Big Sur with a fresh install.

Thats all well and good then. If you want to clean install, then backup your data and then go to recovery mode and from disk utility format the MacHD group volume and then clean install from there(You will require a stable internet connection for this)
