If i have 6 posts in a niche site, i want each one to rank for separate keyword. Should i internal link all of them together?

Should i internal link them all to each other? I want each post to rank for its keyword

If it makes sense to a site visitor that you would be linking these articles together, then the answer for sure is yes.

Adding internal links from each of these pages to each other will help pass the PageRank around your site. Furthermore, if you use keywords in the anchor text, you could help the linked-to pages to be more relevant for those keywords.

I would suggest testing using a few variations of each keyword as the anchor text. For example, use the exact phrase as the anchor text from page B, C, D, E and F linking to page A and monitor your ranking for that phrase after all the changes on all the pages have been indexed by Google. Then change the anchor text on pages D, E and F to some variation of the main keyword. Once all those changes have been indexed by Google see if your ranking for the main phrase is better or worse off and also check to see if you rank better for the variations that you used on pages D, E, and F.

It will be useful for users but Is it better for SEO to rank these keywords?

Yes absolutely.

I'm sorry if my answer wasn't clear on that point but yes it's almost always better for rankings to have more internal links pointing to pages and if it's better for users too, then it's the best move all around.
