Well, I think Samehada should stay by Kisame. Although he can fight even without it, it's still a core of his regular battlestyle we've usually seen in the series. On the other hand, Bee already had a complete battlestyle before he got it, he just deduced how to properly incorporate Samehand into it. Also, Samehada is the main counter to the abilities of B, and while I don't want to downplay Itachi, I still consider him a weak link in this fight, but if Kisame has this counter to B, Itachi can get a crucial role as Kisame's support, since the latter is the one who would surely engage in a close range combat.
