It seems to me that using intangibility to boost attack strength makes zero sense, and that the intangibiltiy reference could be due to Kakashi avoiding attacks with it. The actual technique seems to me (as I said on a now-edited Kamui Lightning Cutter page) that he actually teleports the target area away, using the Raikiri as a precision targeting system and doing more damage than a base Raikiri ever could.

I think he just uses Kamui up until the moment he strikes, meaning he can charge full speed straight ahead. Doesn't have to avoid anything on the way.
