Since 2 of your 3 lenses are EF-S lenses and you wish to use them going forward, I’m assuming that you’re considering a crop body. I would suggest considering the T7i, the 77D or the 80D (unless you want to make a move to the 7D MKII). Her’s a link to an article comparing the 3 which may prove useful: https://www.dpreview.com/articles/5322759563/buyers-guide-canon-eos-rebel-t7i-800d-vs-eos-77d-vs-eos-80d
As stated above the camera you have is a crop sensor camera and 2 of your lens are only used on a crop sensor then I would consider the 80D and buying more glass. I know the 7D mark ii is a faster camera and if your shooting wildlife that's great but the 8 FPS on the 80D is just as good and you have more features that I have found very useful and is half the price so you can spend money on more and better glass. I have the 6D mark ii which I love and its nothing more then an 80D with a full frame sensor. Movie quality and such is far supiorer on the 80D and it has facial recognition so it will track your subjects. If you watch Adoroma camera, you can usually find it in a bundle with the canon battery grip and some other items for under a thousand US dollars. It will certainly take you to new levels of photography and will last you many years.

I'll give you my standard list of camera comparison sites.
Read comparisons and specs, and decide what features are important to you.

Before you jump into a $1300+ purchase I would recommend you do a side-by-side camera comparison at https://www.dpreview.com and if interested enough then consider the Canon 70D. I love mine and I see on eBay you can get a nice package with original box and all original assessories for around $450. dpreview will show you the really fine stats for this camera and you may get all you need for a whole lot less money.

What is your budget?
What kind of "moving objects" are you shooting?
What settings are you using for your burst mode?

If action shots are a priority, check to see if your camera can do AF-C or "continuous" mode focusing so it will follow-focus on a moving target. If not, be sure to get one that can. I would think that most popular models can do that.

Depends on your budget.
The T6 is a very good camera but you seem to have progressed to wanting more pro features.
Next logical step would be the 80D or if budget allows the 7D MII.
These might be due for an upgrade so it depends on how fast you want to move.
The 7D MII will be the most responsive for your stated needs. I use the older 7D and love it.

Not mentioned in the article, while the 80D does not have Bluetooth, it DOES have Wi-Fi to connect to a smartphone, tablet or PC.

Upgrading to the 7DmkII would give you all the things you wish to have. It is superb for fast action shots in sports or birds in flight. Plus it has great low light capabilities. The pricing is around $1000 for new, $800 for used. I have had one for a few years now and can highly recommend it. I recently acquired the 5d mk4 to use for landscape photos, but I will always have lenses & uses for the 7dII.
Thank you for your recommendation!

Personally, I agree and would choose the 7D MKII if it will fit the OP’s budget. While there are some dealers advertising new 7D2s for $1,000, I’d be very careful, as the reputable dealers such as B&H and Adorama are selling them new for $1,399, so one must be concerned about warranty, grey market, bait and switch, etc. from cut-rate dealers.
Thanks for the recommendation! What's grey market and bait and switch from cut-rate dealers?
