How did the Nazis feel after the Holocaust about exterminating the approximately 11 million people who died in the Holocaust?

Very, very few expressed and feelings of guilt. Some of the
perpetrators were tried and punished, but many others changed their
names and/or got themselves denazified - and 'lived happily ever
after'.
The sudden emergence of the Cold War soon after the end of World
War 2 tended to work against dealing with the perpetrators properly
after about 1949.
