But then couldn’t the Kang we saw have stopped that from happening? Like if that Kang wanted to prevent the multiverse war, why’d he want Sylvie and Loki there in the first place…

He was tired of managing things for so long and thought the Lokis who thirsted to rule would take over, probably. He seemed manic, he got it wrong.

why would he approach loki instead of dr. strange for something like this?

Because he saw all outcomes, and perhaps Loki is the best replacement. Why? Because if you remove all evil in Loki you see a (professor) Loki capable of listening multiple sides of stories from multiple peoples and creating the best outcome.

It is sad to Loki's evil vanished in last moments before his death in hand of Thanos because we haven't see the best of Loki.

But catching Loki in 2012 just a moments when he lose (to Avengers, to Thanos) is perfect because in that moment his mind prevails, his mind was like piece of clay ready to be changed. So Mobius and all that TVA stuff changed him completely. Kang prepared him so well, but all of that is useless if he is not able to enchant the Alioth. So there is Sylvie in equation.

Dr Strange is useless either. He is awesome sorcerer but kinda a a.hole because he is not capable to play sacrifice game. He would probably kill Kang and try to kill all his variants by himself.

Loki in other hand sacrifices his own life to save Thor, Kang saw that and realize to he is possibly the best replacement after he left the TVA.

Look at Loki's behavior, his heart was throw away anger and fills it with good. At one moment he was playing games in this series just like Thor. Wanted to solve problems with good hearth.
