How often are the kingdom’s really used in a lab or with detailed research? I’m guessing not often (I’ve only done intro to bio myself though I’ve talked to researchers about there work and the kingdom’s never came up).
They might be useful for giving people learning biology a general grasp of the various organisms and some differences, put into large categories.
There might be some times it’s useful, maybe as a starting place in comparing different organisms, but it isn’t an abstraction that is the base of how the actual field does research.
(As opposed to PLs, where the abstraction is the main tool of the craft)
