Why bother? Elemental guns can have the same perks, do the same damage, plus they do added elemental damage.
I find myself wondering what the point is to using guns that do kinetic damage, other than in crucible.

Because Elemental guns do less damage if they are hitting the incorrect element type. EX: My solar Scout Rifle takes forever to break a Fallen Captain's shield (feels like I'm using a nerf gun). My Kinetic Rifle destroys it with less resistance. Note: same damage, similar stats.
