I'm pretty sure there's another factor worth considering. DD's bigtime connections and his kingdom. Why would he give these things up to take out Kaido? Sure he'd have to give the SAD production up but he could probably keep his status with his connections. Taking down Kaido doesn't do him any good. If he's discovered for all his wrongdoings(and publicly defeated) Fujitora's taking him down right there. If he's badly defeated it's not like he's gonna be rescued by Luffy immediately afterward.
