Narrative purposes. The narrative requires Zoro and Luffy be responsible for the supermajority of the damage dealt to Kaido. You're probably aware of the reasons for Luffy, but for Zoro, here's my first post on it:

Zoro has been so much more impressive than Kidd, that I don't consider this credible. Kidd isn't taking a major role vs. Kaido.
Using barrier COA drained his haki reserves much faster.

Oda definitely has something in major in store for Kidd. How far he plans on taking it, remains to be seen.
