Where did u get that Kakashi has hundreds of jutsus? I hope you are not going off the hyped up story. Because, even with the anime, he has shown less than 100. How are Kakashi's techniques more advanced than Itachi's? Because he has more higher ranked techniques? Rank doesn't always amount to power. Just because a technique is a B-rank technique doesn't mean that it'll be stronger than a C-rank technique. It depends on the user as well.

Clone Techniques. They both have the Shadow Clone Technique. Kakashi can make it into a lightning version or water version, while Itachi can make it into a detonating bomb. For Kakashi, we have one that only stalls the opponent and the other being a severally weaker version than the user. Itachi's version takes this.

Fire Release: While Kakashi (in the anime) has shown to use the Fireball Technique, Itachi has that and more so.

Water Release: Both have proficiency in this, and are on equal ground with this. I would say around equal too.

Genjutsu: Should we even go there? Kakashi straight up loses. Eye contact will be almost impossible, not to mention he can just point at Kakashi and get him.

Physical Prowess: I would say for feats, Kakashi has this in the bag, but are around the same speed, so it balances out. Not to mention, Itachi has swift hand sign movements.

Earth Release: Kakashi has proficiency in this, able to use it for defense, offense, and supplementary use.

Summoning: Itachi has his crows, which he uses in tandem with his clones. Kakashi has his hounds, which has multiple uses (as extended upon in the anime). I'd give the summoning to Kakashi.

Intelligence: Both have shown to be quick thinkers and great strategists. I would put them about equal.

Lightning Release: Kakashi has several lightning techniques, but the Chidori or Lightning Blade will be difficult to even pull off. The Lightning Cable is his best bet.

Rasengan: The Rasengan is one hit kill. Again, will be hard to even pull off on Itachi. He'd have to get him when distracted or unable to move.

All in all, I really don't see how Sharingan Kakashi has it over on Sharingan Itachi, even with more techniques. Not to mention, Itachi can copy Kakashi's techniques anyways (though that doesn't seem to be his style unlike Kakashi).
