Currently I have to use my eye to approximate a horizontal straight line for cutting an object with the bisect tool.

Is there a way to get the cursor to snap to a grid point (marked in red) so that the correct straight line is drawn?

enter image description here

I have used ⇧ Shift + S but that doesn't do what I want.

Create a plane, rotate it so it matches your perspective, and subdivide it so the quads match the big cells:

Then subdivide it again so it matches the small cells:

Of course you could subdivide it in a single step (39 cuts), but since a big cell always consists of 10 small cells and requires 9 cuts, it's easier to do in in two steps.

Now go to Object Mode, select both the plane and the object to be cut (here Suzanne), use knife snapping to the plane:
