According to an industry insider there just wasn't enough interest in the character.
https://fictionhorizon.com/the-reasons-behind-marvels-decision-to-drop-kang-instead-of-recasting/
Majors’ legal troubles weren’t the sole reason for the studio’s decision to abandon the character. Public perception also played a significant role, as Kang was seen as an uninteresting and poorly executed villain.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania underperformed at the box office and received largely negative reviews. Many fans were disappointed that Kang was defeated solely by Ant-Man in the film.
Confidence in Kang’s ability to generate the same excitement as Thanos was virtually nonexistent. Even before Majors’ verdict, the studio was reportedly reconsidering the introduction of a different villain to take Kang’s place. This was recently confirmed by Daniel Richtman, a well-known industry insider.

Embarrassing meltdown over lack of reading comprehension.

Flawless victory. Another one for the good guys.

Why wouldn't Antman beat his ass though? Traditionally, kang is the Avengers whipping boy. He literally never wins.

Not having Ant-Man beat his ass in his first major appearance probably would have helped.

tbf, Kang in the comics is also extremely boring, despite being considered by many as the Avengers greatest foe.
I honestly don't know what they could do to make Kang interesting. Neither do they, apparently.
