Why do I think Kidd will return
First of all, Kidd's defeat was a direct callback of the SH in Sabaody. Both crews were "eradicated", that didn't stop the SH to make a comeback after the reality check
Oda often implies parallels between a DF's powers and its user (Luffy will always bounce back, Buggy falling appart at the smallest inconvenience, everybody fall in love with Hancock, etc). The nature of Kidd's fruit is magnetism but as he stated quite a few times in the Wano arc, no matter how many times he will get beaten, destroyed, teared appart, he will always assemble himself back, the power of magnetism
The guy has been beaten up all over the New World (Beckmann, that one BM commander, Kaido). In Wano his crew was taken as prisoners, his partner was the slave of Orochi and himself was in prison with Queen torturing him to break his spirit, but he never lost his will.
He didn't give up against Kaido, neither in prison or against BM's hocus pocus and he was rather ready to die fighting than surrender when Kaido supposedly defeated Luffy. By his choices and conviction, he showed one of the strongest will of the serie, comparable to Luffy if you ask me
He will come back for his objective, becoming a "big shot"
During the whole wano arc, Oda was often making allusions about Kidd wanting to be a big shot, he targeted yonkos more than anyone else:
He wanted the glory of defeating Kaido
Kidd claiming to Luffy and Law that they will never be a big shot because of their stupid games
Hawkins made allusions about him finally being able to surpass a yonko
When he was having headache against BM, he was thinking about how he FINALLY got an opportunity of taking down an emperor
During his fight against big mom he was taking about tearing her from her throne (in comparaison, Luffy who claimed to fight against Kaido to be the PK)
Yes Kidd want to find the One Piece but that is the way he choose to follow on his objective of becoming a "big shot", just like the One Piece isn't the finallity for Luffy it is a mean to accomplish his secret dream
Kidd still have a role to play in One Piece, his character isn't accomplished
On a side note, Jinbe's sharks team didn't find any rest of the Kidd pirates, they might have been washed away to Elbaph's beaches
