You are very misinformed and appear to be suffering from some kind of delusion.
The Rolling Stones were amazing from the very start and, all things considered, remain so to this very day.
I'm delusional.
OK.
You sound like a fanboy. I'm just a fan - one that recognizes the good and bad of the Stones (and any artist I like).
Next thing you're going to tell me is that DIRTY WORK is just as powerful as (enter actual good album title here).

Some of what you have posted about what Brian played shows you are misinformed.
But moving on... is Ruby Tuesday, Let's Spend The Night Together, Yesterdays Papers, We Love You, Citadel, 2000 Man, She's A Rainbow, 2000 Light Years From Home, forgotten due to the wonderous JJF?
Clearly not, those tracks are much loved and rightfully so.
Is Ruby Tuesday, for example, musically inferior to JJF?
No, don't be silly. It's a fantastic bit of song writing, beautifully arranged, emotionally potent, melodically interesting.
All of the tracks mentioned are unique and inspired pieces of great music and as good, if not better, than anything they did afterwards.

Hard to argue with this
Hey! Don't forget Lady Jane, Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, 19th Nervous Breakdown, Paint It, Black, Child Of The Moon and Dandelion (+ many more).
All in the same league quality-wise as the songs you mentioned, imo

Lady Jane, Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, 19th Nervous Breakdown, Paint It, Black aren't 1967 though.

What I find interesting about '67 re. the Stones, is that they stayed in Europe. It is said that '67 in particular was the Summer of Love; psychedelia and all. When I look at what the bands are doing I see a marked difference between US and Europe.
In the US the direction seemed to be towards nature; finding your place in Mother Nature. The sounds were drifting towards Country and Folk. It took Hendrix going to Europe to find his way.
It was the European bands that took this into a harder direction.
Psychedelia was a fusion of widely opposite ways of thought. In the same year, same country, you had Aretha releasing "I Never Loved A Man", and you had the Velvet Underground coming up with their first album. Come to think of it - Aretha was East Coast; so the VU and her might have been door to door.
The main visionaries like Beatles, or Brian Wilson, of course were universal. That is WHY they are visionaries. This was global thinking. I tread that Brian Wilson watched the Stones record "My Obsession" and was very impressed with it. His next work was "Good Vibrations".
What I like about the Stones in this, is that they set out on a Euro tour. With Brian Jones. Yes, it looks like some of them jetted over to the US for an event or two, but they were entrenched in Europe. Recording; exploring in the studio; with various results - some glorious, some misfires.
Ultimately, I really like this about them: that they spent so much of that Summer in Scandinavia, NL, Germany, Poland and Greece and Italy.
The most interesting year? I'm sure from the Stones point of view it was not. Historically it looks like a lot of groundwork was laid: for future songs, albums, festivals. And the next school of bands.

beyond the albums and singles, if you include events, I'd give it to 1969 if only for Woodstock and Altamont and the timing of Space Oddity released a week before the first man on the moon landing.

The Rolling Stones (Aftermath), The Beach Boys (Pet Sounds), and The Beatles (Revolver)
But the appearance of the Jimi Hendrix Experience in 1967 probably was unexpected.
