If he was serious about killing him then he would have had no issue doing so. Having fought Naruto, controlled Six Biju, then controlling the Juubi, it's not surprising if Obito was at the end of his rope by the time he fought Kakashi.

You are correct, I hadn't considered a possible stamina issue. Though, do note stamina shouldn't have been a big issue, considering he later takes a hole in his heart, a gash across the chest, and being controlled and took that opportunity to become a jinchuriki, of the Jubi no less. Not an easy feat, even if you are fresh. Obito's stamina is monstrous. With all that, he still clearly held back enough to basically draw.
