I guess the definition I would use to describe a "kind" would be a group of living organisms having descended from the same ancestral gene pool.
By this definition there's only one kind: life.
The original definition of a kind is as follows : the ability to produce offspring, i.e. to breed with one another.
I think you've got this wrong since this is pretty much the same as species. The creationist need to insist on the Biblical term "kind" is that the mere concept of species is contrary to literal interpretations of Genesis because there are far, far too many species on Earth for two of each to have fit on the ark.
Hopefully someone else will do better than I did.
Hasn't happened yet.
