Kai-2 is generally based on outstanding battle performance, (see Hiryuu, Yuudachi, Shigure, Ayanami, Kirishima, Hiei), rather than on historical upgrades or modernizations.

Mechanically I agree with you that the Nagato class should be superior to the Kongous, but that doesn't seem to be the direction that the devs are going.
