Im not saying that God only produced one breeding pair from which all others came. Genesis says he made a 'variety' of different sea, land and flying animals.
Even if he did, there still exists the problem of gathering all these creatures on the Ark due to geographical problem. Were Kodiak bears on board? Was the Platypus there? How about the Walrus?
So perhaps the raven, kite and vulture were among the variety of different bird kinds.
The point is that the Leviticus passage shows different 'kinds' of the same bird which can reproduce together. If that is the case, then the classification of "kinds" is even more obscure and couldn't mean what you say it means.
Leviticus is chock full of nonsense though, so you might be able to make your case there, as it also says you can't eat four-legged insects. Only problem is that there are no 4-legged insects.
