Nagato could not react because it never came out of the smokescreen until after he was hit. So no reacting for him.

As I said. Kakashi has only shown to not fight someone due to being outclassed once. Even with DMS, Kakashi was not = Kaguya, so that isn't a good example. If Kakashi can compete with intelligence alone, he would fight. Itachi outclasses in almost every regard but Kakashi kept going back for more. Yet, against Orochimaru, he was absolutely terrified to even press him. Why? Cause in his words "Compete with him? Am I an idiot?". So in his own words he cannot compete. Compete in what? In overall everything. If it was just Ninjutsu he'd just say Ninjutsu. If it was Genjutsu, he'd just say Genjutsu. So on. There hasn't been a single case of Kakashi being terrified to fight another cause he felt he couldn't compete except this one.

As for the rest. Seel already crumbled you basis of the argument that it was Izanagi. With that being the root of all your points, there's nothing to really reply to. Konan forced him to use Izanagi, Itachi could not. Konan technically killed him. Itachi did not. Both planned. One almost succeeded.
