  You were 100% correct to fold 6-7.
  
  If you don't mind me saying, you are still looking in the rear-view mirror at "what would have happened". You need to stop doing that, it does not help one iota.
  
  6-7 pre-flop was a huge dog against those two hands & it's an instant fold. It does not matter a jot or whittle if, subsequently, it would have won. Fold your hand, move on.
  
  Imagine none of you were all-in & you had called pre-flop & the flop came 8-10-4. (Which it did). One of those two bet, what are you doing now with nothing but 6-7 on a 8-10-4 gutterball?
  
  You MUST stop this if I'd have called" thinking.
  
  PS - Good luck.

  In poker, there are always players who keep saying "if I'd have called with my 7-2 I'd have won", conveniently ignoring the fact that the pre-flop betting was 4 bet & 5 bet. It's real facepalm stuff. You must get out of that habit.

  You didn`t fold a straight btw,
  you had 67 os with 8 bbs in the BB with a raise and 3 bet.
  Its a 100% fold mush.
  if your worried about your junk hands getting there after you folded.
  Maybe try your 10 3 off or 6 7 pre and see how you get on..
  Gl btw

  You felt bad about folding an eventual straight? I just folded a straight flush.
