Kid was not in a position to really do anything when Kaido dropped in on him. Luffy could have chosen otherwise, but in his mind the best way to deal with a problem is beat it to a pulp. It is a method that seems to work well against opponents he can beat. As noted, he is not exactly sure what Kaido would do next. At least this way, Luffy is in a position to gain allies.
