Kabuto may not have been the best villain, I believe that title belongs to Nagato/Pain. However, I believe he was still a great villain and was immensely powerful. It's because of his actions that the war even took place, without him, the war couldn't have really happened at all. He had a good backstory and was an overall decent character imo. As for "not being a threat" that isn't true. Did you forgot who resurrected all of those Edo Tensei in the first place? It was Kabuto, he was able to revive countless amounts of undead shinobi almost as strong as they were when alive and having enough chakra reserves to maintain that way for about 2 days.

He had Perfected Sage Mode, Suigetsu's water body ability, Jugo's natural energy absorption ability to stay in PSM for long amounts of time, Karin's healing abilities, all of Orochimaru's abilities, all of the Sound Four's abilities, and would have wrecked Sasuke if Itachi wasn't undead and there to stop him with Izanami. When Itachi said that Sasuke shouldn't aim to kill him that was at the beginning before he showed how strong he actually was, and Kabuto also stood there for a while and didn't do much because he had become arrogant. He also would have killed Itachi had Itachi not been an reanimation when he slashed him in half that one time.
