wanting to knock players out seems absurd to me.

We only want to knock out the blinds who play well. We're not expecting the limpers to fold -- instead, we want to play a pot against them, in position, that has a lot of their chips in it for us to win. And if the blinds do call, fine -- we're still in position in a large multiway pot with a well-disguised hand.

The fact that the blinds play well is meaningless. We have 76s. Were not drawing to top pair, we're drawing to a big hand. Each player who enters this pot adds more value to our hand, even those who play well becuz thats more people who have the golden opportunity of making a 2nd best hand against our monster.

If we had a hand like ATo,A8s,K9s,QTs, then your logic makes sense and these hands should be raised accordingly becuz now we have a hand that will make top pair a reasonable amount of time and having good players out of our pot is a great thing since now we can make a possible 2nd place hand. These hands should also be raised for pure value but getting the good players out is certainly a real benefit with these holdings.

And why the [censored] do we care about disguising our hand? We have two bad players at the table, we dont need to purchase deception here. Just make the boring optimal play and we'll get the money in the long run.
