Depends on how private you want to be, but you can pay Kagi with Bitcoin[1] and use that to buy privacy pass tokens and access it through Tor.[2] It’s not complete privacy, but it decouples the account from the searches.
Yeah they should use privacy pass for the default accounts as well to decouple payment from account.
Absolutely not. I don't feel it's necessary to pay the sacrifices needed for a trustless society.
I would much rather be able to have things like personalised searches (which are identifying).

This wouldn't affect your accounts usability or features it would just delink your payment from your account. Same as paying for Mullvad with a giftcard bought on Amazon.
I don't really understand your first paragraph.

While they don't offer anonymous/private payments, you can use PrivacyPass no matter how you pay for Kagi. So, yes, the fact that you have an account will be known to anyone with access to their subscriber data, but what you search for will not be tied to that identity.
And in addition, they just ask the minimal info to be able to use the service, an email address, and not a full usual registration.
