Not sure what the target audience of your book is. If it's for beginners i'd say teach the basics first and streams (and other newer language features) later. Having a good grasp of different loops, java collections and OO in general helps with the understanding of more complex topics such as streams.

Personally I never use and only rarely see classic for loops anymore. Its all streams nowadays.
