I think the use of rangefinders came about as a way for the photographer not to stand out. To be able to take candid shots you needs to be 'invisible' to your subject and pointing a big clunky camera at someone is a surefire way to get their attention. It's not that rangefinders take better street pictures, they were just smaller and less noticeable. You should be able to get similar shots with any small digital compact today.
