I'm not dissing on Kakashi, but all the other kage were able to deal with the meteor. I mean it was even sliced in half and Kakashi did nothing but stare. Tsunade most definitely could take out the other half or at least knock it away in the opposite direction. The woman could literally smash down humanoid Susanoo, a highly durable defence. Anyway, Tsunade has proven her importance as Hokage, what has Kakashi really proven since becoming elected? Kakashi can definitely lead, and he can definitely protect his village against other Shinobi.

I seriously doubt that Tsunade can do the same amount of force as 7 people in their 6th Gates. But that's a debatable thing, so I'll leave that point be.

What would the other Kage do to a meteor that big? The Raikage wouldn't do more than Tsunade, and I'm not convinced Tsunade would take care of it better than the Crane Formation.

Tsunade has been Hokage for most of the series, of course she's proven her importance. Kakashi was hardly shown as Hokage. But it seems there weren't any notable problems while he was in office. Whether that means he was just a really good leader in a time where literally everything with the Shinobi relations were changing, or he was lucky enough to not have too many issues, take your pick. It doesn't discount his qualifications to the position.
