First off this dude does a pretty good job explaining what Kaido's backstory likely is: The Secret of Kaido and Wano - One Piece (opfanpage.com)
To summarize, Kaido is an Oni(confirmed) whose ancestors used to be inhabitants of Wano. They got fucked over by human beings(celestial dragons) and Kaido holds resentment towards all humanity. Hence why he wants to start the greatest war ever and destroy the current ruling order. His hatred of humanity and the WG is probably also why he was imprisoned so many times. The guy probably directly attacked the WG numerous times.
He clearly knows about some shit in the void century and is waiting for Joyboy's return. Given the big ass hat that Imu has stored and the parallel of little oars jr wearing a straw hat, it seems likely the Joyboy was of the Oni race and part of the Oni's history. Kaido knows that Joyboy will be reincarnated and is waiting for his return and he suspected Luffy of being joyboy only to be disappointed because at that moment Luffy was too weak and got his ass whopped.
Kaido has been shown to be suicidal but the problem is that he's just too strong to die. We know that prophecies exist in One Piece, and I'm guessing that Kaido received a prophecy that the one leading to his death and starting off the greatest war ever would be Joyboy's reincarnation. When Luffy shows powerups Kaido is actually seen to be quite excited as if he's looking forward to someone actually beating him. Not saying Luffy will kill Kaido but that Luffy will defeat him enabling someone to kill Kaido.
BUT that someone WONT be Zoro and the reason is because 1) that would be stupid as fuck having Luffy's right hand man killing the strongest character in One Piece thus far and 2) Oda is setting up Kaido to be a sympathetic character.
Some panels to support this:
A lot of people will have an instinctual response and say that "Kaido bad because Orochi is really really bad" but in the larger context Kaido views it as a necessary sacrifice to stock up on weapons. Remember the man wants to overthrow the existing order and for him a tyrant in one island is the cost needed to make that happen. Kaido later on goes to stress to Yamato that the world isn't so simple.
Another panel going along with this:
While beating the shit out of Yamato, Kaido confirms that he is both an Oni and his mistrust of all humans. By this panel it can be inferred that the Oni's were betrayed by humans hence "relying on the friendship of humans is beneath you" and "their acts of kindness were jut lies". The whole fight between Yamato and Kaido plays out like a father trying to discipline and impart wisdom into his child.
Kaido is impressed as hell with Oden's display despite the fact that he hates all humans. He is sympathetic to Oden but Kaido's reasoning is that the ends justify the means. Oden was not willing to use Wano's resources and expert craftsmanship to build the weapons needed to take on the WG, Orochi was and thus Oden needed to be eliminated.
I'm sure many of you will say that Kaido can't be sympathetic because he clearly abused Yamato. In that case you have to apply that reasoning to Garp who is clearly a terrible caretaker and put Luffy in just as much danger as Kaido put Yamato.
Kaido wants to groom Yamato to become strong and a part of his plans just as Garp tried to groom Luffy to be a great marine. But lo and behold Luffy and Yamato ended up influenced by and sided with Garp and Kaido's direct antagonists.
Oda is gonna go a lot more into Kaido's backstory and many of you will actually end up supporting Kaido, thinking his plan to take on the WG to be more "realistic" than Luffy's. Oda will make Kaido into a sympathetic character which is reason enough for ZKK to never happen. A sympathetic character, espeically one as strong as Kaido will be given a glorious death which Zoro suddenly beheading would certainly not be. It would go against both of their characters. Thanks for reading folks
Just to add, Onigashima crushing the flower capital would be symbolic, as the Oni winning over the humans and taking over Wano completely.

. I think it would be stupid for ZKK to happen and I'm just providing coherent reasoning for an additional reason as to why it doesn't make sense on top of why Kaido has a lot more going on than is currently on display. While I also want BKK to happen, that I'm not sure of.
