This is my personal opinion. A kick should be a kick, it has to be an extension, you should go as high as you can with out bucking ( leaning towards your leg)and it should be higher than your knee. I'm not exacly sure what a judge would do, since I'm not a judge. In other things though, trying something and not doing fully would lose you more points that if you just didn't do it. If you are going to kick it should look like a kick, or make it something else. That's just how I look at it. Are kicks nessacery, no! not at all. In fact some judges think just plain front kicks as high as possible are too American and will score you down for doing them. That's why there's different kinds of kicks.
