I play a lot and dont keep track of, what the latest or worst bad beat was. But if I have to pick one, then I still remember a hand from a 16NL cash game many years ago, that went like this: Villain limp, I isolate to 4BB, Villain min-click 3-bet to 7BB, I call. My cards are 
, and flop comes , so obviously very good flop for me. Villain check, I bet, Villain check-raise, I jam, and he call it off for around 100BB. He flip over , turn and river were . This hand stood out to me, because the Villain played it so poorly on both streets and still managed to get bailed out by hitting a 1-outer.
As for your hand I mostly play tournaments these days, and I dont even consider preflop all-in situations to be bad beats, unless its a completely dominated situation like against or similar. It seems like, you focus on the fact, came on the river, but this does not matter, when the money went in preflop. In that situation there is no flop, turn or river but just 5 cards dealt all at the same time. Or at least thats the best way to see the situation from a mental point of view.

Worst recent one is, some maniac who has too much money for 2-4 opens 20 early position. I flat with also from early position (I'm way ahead of his range).
Flop comes . He bets 50. I raise 150. He calls.
Turn comes Pot is now about 350 and I have about 200 left. He goes all-in. I call. He has some garbage like (idk if he had the gutshot or not on the Flop, but it was Queen + some disconnected diamond). Dealer declines to hand me a boat on the River. -400€ 🙄

Villain shows QJo! Great!
Flop: A, 8, 5! Even better! The villain is almost drawing dead!
Turn: 9, River: 10! I lose to a straight.
The players at the table went nuts about this outcome, but i did not care at all, so i did not play poker for several years!

The last really sick one I remember was when I had 2 Pair on the Flop and my opponent had the same top pair with a weaker kicker and hit his kicker on both turn and river.
I think I had k10 and my opponent K8. Flop was k10 and some low card. Turn 8 river 8.
the most funny beat I ever gave to someone was when I decided to push 84s from the sb in some 888 freeroll, right before the money. I covered him and thought it's a good play on the bubble. He called with JJ and flop came out...888. could not believe that one tbh.
