>it makes it look like every selfdestructing thing Kazuya does is something brave
It isn't and he has gotten punished for being too brave or too stubborn or high on his horse.
>and Chizuru's bullshit like ghosting him as something she does becuase she is just a lonely girl who doesn't understand love.
The ghosting was Chizuru's punishment for Kazuya's actions at the pool. Remember she told him to get prepared because she wasn't gonna let him press the hero button again. If you didn't pick the hint and realized that meant she was gonna ghost him as a consequence for his reckless and stubborn determination to confess, then you should reread again.
Chizuru is a master liar and will put all the excuses to avoid accountability for her actions.
With all that shit in mind, this kiss doesn't come as Chizuru coming clear with her feelings through actions, but her realizing no matter what she does to push him away and towards Ruka, Kazuya will keep insisting and being a pest, so she did that so he can finally chill and stop pestering her. Knowing the patterns, this is a sayonara kiss, then she's gonna blacklist him and make everything at her hands to not cross paths with him at the campus 'till summer holidays come.

After a thorough rereading, the kiss felt like Mikako and Yuki's last kiss in Himegoto.
