Because toads Gamakichi, Gama and Gamatatsu do no have what it takes to defeat the masks. It is these guys who do not pack enough power on their own. They'll have to rely on collaboration techniques, but Kakuzu can do the same, with way better results.

Kakuzu competed with Kakashi in taijutsu and speed. Unless you're saying that Kakashi's taijutsu and speed isn't impressive. Izumo and Kotetsu landed a sneak attack while his guard was down. We already seen what happened when he fought them. They went down quick in a face to face fight.

Jiraiya is not as well balanced as Kakashi. He has no taijutsu or speed feats to compare with his high ninjutsu use. He knows the basics of genjutsu, but even he admitted that he was not good with it. My reason for mentioning this is because you're ignoring feats for non-existent truth about Jiraiya being a skilled taijutsu fighter.

Kakuzu will most definitely be able hit base Jiraiya more than the other way around. The man has speed on par with Kakashi, whose has high speed feats. Base Jiraiya really doesn't have any speed feats.

Jiraiya most certainly needs SM to win. And I know that he can enter Sage Mode, but it won't last that long since he won't much time to charge up.
