Queen did the same, it's just his personality that is different from King, which kind of character finds an Younko right in front of him and manage to do what Queen did, lol? And he didn't even used his full capabilities or hybrid form.
King saw Queen Mama Chanteur climbing the waterfall, King goes there with an actual goal which is preventing the boat to land in Wano by kicking it, not fighting them, he knew he was on complete advantage.
Other than that, this doesn't even compare to facing an actual Younko 1vs1, Queen's situation was completely unusual and there wasn't anyone to properly face her than Kaido. Both King and Queen were competent on these situations
