People have serious selective memory when it comes to the first three phase. Thanos had literally one actual scene in the entirety of the franchise leading up to Infinity War and a few name drops in GotG. Most of the stones were just macguffins until they were tied back in. There was no build up whatsoever of his threat beyond the occasional vague "something big is coming" lines. We already know more of who Kang is and what's coming from him from his two appearances than we did about Thanos before Infinity War.

Even in those brief instances Thanos still demonstrated he was a huge threat. In one movie he literally sent an army to earth that destroyed NYC and was the impetus for the Avengers forming in the first place. In another movie one of his agents acquired a stone that he was going to use to wipe out all life on a planet just from making contact with the ground.

For Kang all we've seen him do is die and make some lines on a map, and then in another instance he got into a fight with the comic relief hero and died to a bunch of ants.

Thanos proved he was a threat and Kang still needs to demonstrate why he should be taken seriously outside of having a bunch of his alternates laugh in the air while hanging out in a coliseum.
