Have Kaidou surpass Roger / Xebec?

Not yet. Zoro will surpass Roger and Ryuuma.

BB will surpass both WB and Rocks.

Shanks will die.

Luffy will surpass any previous manga in terms of plot armor.

 

[Franosuke]

I think the concept applies more to the current generation surpassing the older generation as opposed to the middle generation doing it

For example,
Luffy will surpass Roger & Shanks
Zoro will surpass Rayleigh & Mihawk
Blackbeard will surpass Whitebeard & Rocks
etc.
