I think you're confusing regret or lack of it with "actually good for me". Certainly, the future-you can evaluate the consequences of some action better than the past-you, but he's still only future-you, not an arbiter of what is "actually good" and what is not.
There's no confusion here if we use a naturalistic definition of "actually good". If we use a nonnaturalistic definition, then of course the question becomes bloody nonsense. I would hope you'd have the charity not to automatically interpret what my question nonsensically!
I have no idea what a naturalistic definition of "actually good" would be.
