The Sharingan is just a tool, the wielder decides how strong it is. Several Uchiha have noted that Kakashi is exceptional with the eye even among Uchiha. That means his own skill and prowess are exceptional and allow him to use the eye effectively.

The fact that the fights we've seen him in are with the Sharingan is moot. He's had the Sharingan for most of the series. That doesn't mean he needs the eye, that just means he has the eye and uses it because he has it.

Friend Killer Kakashi. Also, he was noted as a genius before he aquired the Sharingan. Name another person labelled a genius that wasn't Kage level upon adulthood at least.

Kakashi has more reserves, all his jutsu except Raikiri (and he has the stronger Purple Lightning now), and all his actual battle intelligence and cunning. He's easily Kage level.
