Exactly, that's precisely what I'm saying. The final result is what matters, and the events that occurred, even though they have a significant impact on the final outcome, are disregarded.
Because they are pirates, concepts of "honor" don't hold much weight. Who cares if Ace was nearly dead in Impel Down and then confronted Akainu and got killed in Marineford? Who cares if Whitebeard was old and sick before heading into battle? Who cares if Zoro had a massive injury before facing Arlong?
The only thing that matters is who landed the final blow and defeated the opponent. People don't focus on the "how they were defeated","And why".
A concrete example of this is Buggy becoming a Yonko. Lmao

Kaido's title is weird. If it only includes creatures , it doesn't even matter as most creatures are garbage in world of one piece. Zunisha aside most creatures are not even above commanders.
Also Kaido has been called WSP , WSM in both manga and in SBS. More than likely WSC = WSM 2.0
As for why luffy isn't called one is mostly plot. Oda wants him to be underdog.

I think oda initially wanted Kaido to be WSC but later changed his mind and simply shifted to him being called as WSM. Hence referring him as WSM in SBS and in manga by zoro and WSP by killer. Kaido is never mentioned as WSC in wano iirc.

Because "Strongest Creature Alive" and "In a One on One fight" go hand in hand. Kaido has the reputation among the people of the World of being the strongest individual fighter there is. Until someone comes along and defeats him in a one on one fight, nobody will take that recognition.
He's lost 7 times in his life, and people still will bet on him in a one on one fight. Until someone can prove that otherwise, the people of the World won't change their perception of who the Strongest is.

In my opinion, because the WSC was abandoned by the plot (because wano sucks). When it started Kaido was talked about was it he was a THING, a monster and not a human.
His portrayal initially was almost of a cursed being:
Overall, the original image of Kaido was not of a strong man similar to whitebeard but of a thing that is too strong to take down even if he tries, with ships breaking, ropes snapping and so on. I honestly thought that he would be a creature like a dragon or something similar that took human form and not a devil fruit user. If you are a fan of mythology think about someone like Typhon (the serpent/dragon/giant thing that almost killed zeus).
In my opinion this was scrapped later on and this original appearance don't make sense with what he showed later. Even his suicide hobby was scrapped as if it never existed. Even his empire and islands were ignored in favor of wano.
Luffy didn't take the tittle because it stopped making sense when wano started.
