Yeah, I agree, a big part of an antagonist is that those who stand against him have some sort of reaction beyond "he's strong, we need to kill him because we have to do so for soul society" Kraven had little actual bearing on characters aside from Naomi, Asumu and Kazuya. In the task force, Kazuya was one of the only individuals who had a real reason for hating Kraven. Kraven killed Hachigen, who was Kazuya's former mentor, and part of the reason he became a member of the task force was because he greatly disbelieved that a mere Quincy could do anything against his old master.
