The problem is that there is NO scientific test to tell if animals DO belong to different "kinds". None.
​
The reason for that is simple. Kinds are unrelated by definition. The point of proposing "kinds" is to deny many relationships of common descent - so the proponents of "kinds" have to reject any evidence supporting those relationships, even though it is clearly relevant. But this leaves them with no test at all.
​
The whole idea is religious, not scientific.
