I can see why you would be ambivalent about Kaido owing Big Mom something. Regardless, I don't think we should discount this development yet, mainly because we don't know what it is. This debt could center around something as simple as Big Mom selling Kaido something (food, one of her children, a servant she captured, etc.) or a more complex matter (maybe she knows something about a potential weakness and that's why she isn't afraid). I'd hold judgment until we get some clarification.

Yeah, the destiny thing is kind of getting annoying, but Oda seems to love that plot device and theme. He might do this because he feels that if he doesn't, readers will be disappointed. Power is such a huge aspect of this series that Oda feels the need to give these characters divine aspects and progression because that's how he views them. That might explain why their parents are all big shots.

Also, could you send me that interview where Oda said Wano would make Marineford look like nothing? I thought he was referring to the very last arc in the series.

And yeah, I'm expecting a Shanks death too, sad as it is.
