Who started teaching people to sign emails "respectfully"?
If you were taught this I suggest you stop. Whoever told you that this was a good way to sign emails to customers, instructors, managers, etc. was giving you bad advice. Older people don't do this. Rich kids don't do this. And while you shouldn't aim to emulate rich kids in general, this closing is not doing you favors in your correspondences. If you're worried that "Best" might come across as curt, "Sincerely" is still fine.
