You are asuming Kakashi knew more about Pain than he actually did. He also didnt bring the Deva path into CQC, the Deva path went at him and Kakashi was fast enough to dodge him and cast a jutsu, putting him at least at a competable speed. He also didnt use Raikiri until he was able to hold the Deva path in place. The Deva path using Almighty Push to protect itself from Raikiri only back up that it isnt fast enough yo actually dodge it.

With the Sharingan, Kakashi doesnt have to worry about the tunnel vision. Raikiri is not a "finisher" as you keep calling it. Its an assissination technique that is suppose to use its speed and peircing force to kill an enemy before they have time to react. It is an above lightning speed jutsu, the fact that a damaged Asura path intercepted it is a huge speed feat all on its own. If you wanna say anyone did something wrong, its Choji & Choza for not killing it right.

Kakshi didnt use anymore chakra than what was needed to create the Lightning Shadow Clone. That same clone is the one who used Raikiri from far away and use the Lightning Dog. This clone was used for intel gathering and limit testing. The only time the real Kakashi used Raikiri after its initial use was when he made sure the Deva Path had no way to protect itself.

He did almost exactly what you said he should have.
