Future Events Why ZKK narratively makes sense.

No, that's completely wrong.
We as readers know that Luffy will become the Pirate King and Zoro the WSS. But Kaido isn't aware of this.
Kaido is made aware of the arrival of Luffy, Zoro, Kidd, and Killer in 982 and yet announces the "New Onigashima Project" in 984 which is completely unrelated to Scabbard/Worst Gen invasion.
Then in 985, we learn that Kaido and Big Mom are allying to go claim the one piece. They are going to turn Wano into a "pirate empire in preparation for the coming world war".
The world war to which he refers to isn't the war that the Scabbards and Worst Gen are creating right now.
The alliance is going to defeat Kaido before he is able to start the World War he wishes for and in turn, destroying his dream of a grand death.
It's completely obvious that this whole Scabbards and Worst Gen issue isn't what Kaido is seeking and dying due to this conflict certainly won't be the grand death in the "world war" he was wishing for.
So this argument stays valid.

But did Enel really go where he wanted to go? His idea of Fairy Vearth stemmed from the Vearth that was found on Skypiea. The lush green landscape filled with trees and rich soil. That all came from the Blues and not the moon, which Enel was mistaken about. Did he find that when he reached the moon? No, what he found when he got there was a barren and desolate landscape with a bunch of Automatronics and hieroglyphics that pointed him back to the direction of Earth. What Enel did was essentially maroon himself as far away from the real Fairy Vearth as he possibly could have.
What does it matter what we the readers know? It's still going to happen, and when it does, when people speak about Wano's liberation in the years to come they won't say "Kaido died by some lowly pirates in that battle." They will say "This is the battle where the Strongest Creature on the planet met his demise at the hands of the Pirate Kings crew."
And Kaido doesn't want to die in the World War, he just wants to die a grand death. He just believes that a war that engulfs the World will give him that, because he's tried countless amounts of other times to die and failed every single time. It doesn't matter where he achieves it. And dying in the battle to liberate Wano will give him just that.

Also interesting is that in a way, Zoro versus killer is very similar to the fight of Oden vs. Kaido. In the fight with killer, Zoro was caught off guard by the bridge bandit and as a result he received an almost mortal wound. You can say that this is similar to Oden vs. Kaido where Oden was caught off guard when the old lady transformed into Momo and as a result, he lost the fight.
This is very important because I see an element of a situation similar to those two happening once more.
But now, Oda laid the foundation for Zoro to always be aware of his surroundings and understand that their could be potential outside forces that try to disrupt a 1v1 fight.
Zoro even showed growth when he was fighting Gyukimari the second time and Kawamatsu slinged his sword at Zoro which he would deflect while engaged with Gyuki.
Could there again be a situation when Zoro is in the shoes of Oden but an outside force tries to save Kaidou? Who knows but there could be foreshadowing for it.

I don't think it was ever stated that Zoro killed him. He slashed him, but often times wounds like that aren't fatal in one piece.
Also, there is not a single major arc I can think of where Zoro defeats the main antagonist. Luffy is the main character and he will always get the final hit on the main villain.

You can't retroactively apply stuff like that. You can't say because in the future, Luffy and Zoro will become PK and WSS, that Kaido's death now will be a grand one by default. It's a terrible argument.
The war Kaido intends to die in, isn't this war.
He wishes to die in the World War while going after the One Piece, Wano is meant to be a preparatory stage for this upcoming war.
However, the Wano war will be the war in which he dies.
If the Wano war is the "World War" he seeks, then he wouldn't have an entire plan based off leaving Wano, seizing the Ancient Weapons and claiming the One Piece.
He quite literally says "We are turning this country into a pirate empire in preparation for the coming world war!!"
If he dies during the preparation stage of his "World War", against the Alliance. He will not be dying a grand death.
You can only retroactively say he died a grand death once Luffy and Zoro have achieved their goals of PK and WSS.
But at the moment of his death in Wano, he will have simply just died to an Alliance of Samurai and Worst Gen Pirates, he will not regard is as a grand death at all.
