Linnaeus probably wouldn't have been able to classify the taxons exactly where the Biblical "kind" could fit in.

That's because there is no such thing as a "Biblical kind", in the way creationists (ab)use the term. The word "kind" is used in the Bible the same way we use it today: "What 'kind' of dog is that?" or "What 'kind' of ice-cream do you like?" It doesn't imply any fixed barrier at all.
