Of course he did
He decided that Luffy should fight Kaido because Kaido looks more intimidating
ignoring the fact that he himself was the one who made Luffy and Big Mom both have grudge against one and another
While the one who got Beef with Kaido is Kid because Kaido destroys his turf and made his first mate ate a dud smile fruit
Also on the other hand, Law is the one who had the idea of beating Kaido
It should've been the other way around, Kid and Law vs Kaido and Luffy vs Big Mom
But all is rushed and forgotten for the sake of forcing G5 Luffy beating a heavily nerfed Kaido 1 on 1
I wouldn't even called that beating, it's more like G5 Luffy is just finishing what everyone did
