He did make Kid look as impressive as Law. They both had Awakening, Kid actually fought Big Mom more, Kid actually fought her face to face and Oda gave Kid’s attacks priority by giving them doublespreads and making him the one to land the final hits each time.
They both get shat on by Luffy but are basically equals with each other.
I'm sure this was Oda's intent. In terms of execution, this isn't the case.
Law did the most damage to Linlin, his attacks had the most impact. Kid tanked Linlin's attacks more but we never saw her use ACoC offensively so Oda basically undermined Kid's main role in the fight.

Rooftop Luffy was 1 step away from Yonko level and he didnt have ACoC. Kid and Law would shit on Tobi Roppo. Kaido sent them after Yamato.
He was getting low diffed even after he got ACoC. He needed to be a sky splitter to even stand a chance against kaido. Yet Kid and Law can do it against Linlin, who herself is a sky splitter, without even having ACoA.

If Oda wanted to portray that they could handle Linlin's ACoC without ACoC, he could have done it. But linlin never used ACoC offensively against them on panel, so we basically have to guess because Oda is too lazy/incompetent to show an integral part of the 2nd biggest fight in wano.
