First let's assume that a minion averages 20 gold, and Cannon Minions are 50. This is just so that we can make the calculations easier and we don't have to math too hard. So every three waves is going to be worth about 400 gold with perfect CSing. Also note that continuously killing a player set's the gold value back a fair bit. Running the numbers tells me that a player dying three times in a row will lose about 20% of the value of the previous kill. SO for this arguement we will assume that the value will rest at around the "4 death streak" bounty of 176G and therefore it should average about 200G per kill, and 100G per assist. based on your numbers we can plug it all in now.

(12*200)+(13*100)+(74*20) comes out to around 5,280. So that's the benchmark. Although I am sure your actual gold was higher than this we are working with the assumptions I put out. now let's us the same numbers for your teammate: (2*200)+(4*100)+(260*20) sets' us at an even 6,000 Gold.

Again, these are low ball estimates but the general concept should be fairly sound. Kills aren't worth a whole lot monetarily when you realize what else there is of value in the game.

Kills are mostly valuable if you manage to get more CS/experience and deny CS/exp from the enemy you killed, not because of the gold they give. If you want to get gold you should focus in farming. Hence not farming means you're not as "fed" as your KDA makes you seem.

If you don't farm you might as well start playing with only one hand, since you're already handicapping yourself by not taking free money.
