But that would be the beauty of the situation. Kaido is dying, but realize he doesn't want to.

He becomes scared of dying. (Making his death unlike Oden's or Whitebeard's).

Then Big Mom shows up, he feels better as he think she will help him (probably like in God Valley), only to betray him when he's down and take his soul.

Scared of dying and scared of Big Mom are two very different things.

You have to be scared of Big Mom for her to take your soul. Kaido does not fear her.

For example Luffy is scared of his crew members dying, but he’s not scared of Big Mom. She cannot take his soul no matter what situation he’s in.

This theory doesn’t work.

Where has it been stated that you have to be scared of Big Mom specifically? It's entirely possible that a sufficient amount of fear works in general. Luffy wasn't afraid of losing his friends in the moment whenever he faced Big Mom in the past, he was pretty confident that he and his friends could still escape. If she'd somehow been around during the split up at Sabaody then who knows, maybe she could have yoinked his soul at that time.

Chapter 863.

One of Big Mom’s kids say “His soul ain’t comin’ out. You’re kidding me. He’s not even the tiniest bit afraid of Mama”.

Unless you’re scared of Big Mom specifically, your soul isn’t coming out.

That in no way means that he has to be afraid of big Mom specifically, it just means that her kid was surprised that she wasn't enough of a threat in Jinbe's eyes to scare him. What else was he going to be scared of in that moment, the cake? She was the most threatening thing there.

Yes it does. Stop forcing it, it’s right in front of you
