Hola Alyssa,
in this sentence, "todo" is not referring to "maleta", it is referring to "everything", which is something seen as "neutral", therefore we need "todo" not "toda". It is as if we said:
The suitcase was very small and I couldn't put "all the things I had" in it.
La maleta era muy pequeña y no pude poner todo en ella.en ella.
I hope this clarified it.
Saludos
Inma
