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. Kakashi confirmed that he has the Six Paths power in this chapter. What Kakashi does with his Raikiri is no different to what Sasuke did when he infused his Chidori with the Six Paths Power to damage Madara. Notice how when Kakashi damages Kaguya, he simply phases through her. That happened via Kamui. He makes his entire body intangible except the hand he uses for the Raikiri to effectively damage Kaguya.
