Frankly, I find “what a pity” a bit stilted. It’s the kind of thing you frequently find in English textbooks published in China and written by Chinese people who speak fairly good English, but who haven’t spent enough time in an English-speaking country to have mastered the colloquial register of English. If you google “what a pity”, you’ll find the expression used more on sites where English is being used as an auxiliary language, in literary contexts etc.

If you want to translate 可惜 into colloquial, natural English, “too bad” is just fine in most cases. Check a good bilingual dictionary and you’ll find both “what a pity” and “too bad” listed as equivalents for 可惜.

It is proper to translate kěxī 可惜 = what a pity!
