Hi Worstgen,
I think it's dumb to argue that any Admiral can actually fight an Emperor of the Sea and expect to win.
The narrative has always implied that the Three Great Powers exist in a balance specifically because they are always comparable to each other, but it's in the sense that the World Government can't kill any Emperor even with all three of their greatest military assets which are their Admiral force.
Kaido, Shanks, Whitebeard, and Big Mom were only stopped by the government when their entire force was used and that includes all three Admirals.
Kizaru by himself can't fight Luffy. That's not his objective either. He is avoiding Luffy to kill Vegapunk because the World Government can't be weakened.
If the World Government was weakened, it would suddenly not be able to contend with the other powers in the Three Great Powers balance.
