The molded, sealed plug of a UK kettle would fare much better in a wet kitchen environment than an aftermarket plug you'd manually install (moisture can get inside and corrode the terminals and connections).

I agree. If I replace the wire, I'd get an assembly with the correct US molded plug (NEMA 14-30?), and perform the wire replacement inside the kettle itself. Your reason is good, but I'd do it that way for the aesthetics alone. :)
