Exodus 21:7 does not "sanction" selling a daughter into slavery. It introduces verses placing restrictions on the practice.

The passage takes a pre-existing practice and places restrictions on it. That certainly tolerates the practice, but there is quite a gap between tolerating something and sanctioning it. (Compare the Fourteenth Amendment's treatment of the suffrage question.)
