I don't think I will ever understand this comeback. The KCA is properly formed, logically sound, not question begging, not equivocating, and not contradictory. The premises of the KCA, if true, infer the cause of the universe (or its predecessor) to be uncaused, timeless, immaterial, personal, and at least powerful enough to bring a universe into being from nothing. This is all it does. It does not get us to the the God of the Christianity and says nothing about other attributes that God might have.
So, how do we get from that to your comeback?
Those things you said about the KCA? They are all unsupported assertions. 'Nuh uh' isn't an argument. And in the list of attributes you infer from it being true, 'personal' is notable for not following at all.
However, props for acknowledging it doesn't get you to your particular God, even if it WERE sound.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
