@BakumatsuWarrior You have some very good points but there seems to be a considerable thing you're forgetting, Kakashi's stamina/chakra reserves. He said one lightning clone takes up a vast majority of his chakra, sure he can spam Kamui but after a few uses he needs to get closer to focus it better because he loses eye sight. (Remember, he only has MS. Not EMS, he cannot keep spamming it without drawbacks and after he spammed it during the war he stated he was losing his eyesight shown as before he teleported Naruto he fell on the ground, strained and only said he had a shot or two left.) He also had to run behind Naruto so there must be a range limit on Kamui to teleport people. I don't see him just Kamui'ing away Deidara seeing as though Deidara can take flight out of it's range. Kakashi can casually kamui objects, a body part, things with ease. Not people seeing as though he strained with Naruto and had to keep up with him.

Not only that but Deidara can fly, Kakashi has already Kamui'd his arm away in the past so he'd already have some intel on it. Kakashi has no way of getting up to him unless he starts using Kage bushins/Lightning clones as diversions or stepping stones (That take up considerable amounts of chakra and he'd also be using Kamui.) War arc Kakashi is not vastly superior than his Pain arc (Unless DMS.), that incarnation is better sure but the only thing he's been able to do is spam Kamui a bit more. That's literally it, it's not vastly superior. (After fighting Obito he couldn't teleport or hardly move and had to rest in the alternate dimension where Obito left him after only using Rakiri, genjutsu, mud wall and a lightning clone.) Kakashi would be busy Kamui'ing away Deidara's clay bombs from a distance and dodging them. If Deidara uses the same thing he did against Sasuke (Microscopic clay bombs.) Kakashi would either try and use Kamui on the initial draw (Waste of noteworthy chakra.) In which I doubt would get rid of it or take the same route as Sasuke and place Deidara under a genjutsu. Then he'll try and Rakiri him since he'll have a small opening (Because let's face it, it's what Kakashi does when he has an opening.) and he'd be in the same dilemma as Sasuke because Deidara would use a microscopic explosive clone but the difference is he won't be able to place lightning on his body similar to Sasuke. I've never seen Kakashi put lightning on his body, and saying he could do it because he can make a lightning clone doesn't varify much.

Also, to clarify with the Kakashi kamui'ing Naruto thing. Obito only didn't notice because he was certain they were gonna use the same tactic prior to it, being the rasengan teleporting and not Naruto's actual body. Naruto disappeared as he shot out a rod but Obito figured it was a clone so didn't pay much attention after the fact. So, I wouldn't say that's a kamui speed feat for Kakashi. But rather a feat of wits. Kakashi/Naruto outsmarted/outplayed Obito by being the smarter strategist. Oh and LOL. Sorry but there is NO WAY Kakashi is Kamui'ing anyone's head off. That's kinda absurb.

But it's a toss up I guess, it's very debatable when it comes to a battle between Deidara vs Kakashi and Sasori vs Kakashi. It really depends on how well Kakashi can conserve against Deidara and close in on him but I doubt that seeing as though Deidara would be bomb spamming high above. Kakashi would have no choice but to dodge, kamui his bombs away and use diversions to get closer.
