Kingdoms.exe is NOT a standalond executable.
You have to start it with one of the Kingdoms campaign or a mod based on a Kingdoms campaign.
Why did CA do it this way? Your guess is as good as mine.

Why did CA do it this way?

Because kingdoms has to be released as a 4 separate campaign game which uses or relies on a single exe file. If it were a single campaign then they would've done it like so. Although combining them together isn't a big deal but then it would've complicated the matter for modders and would've not made this game so much user friendly, modding wise. Moreover kingdoms.exe uses various new scripting conditions and commands that medieval2.exe didn't have. Exmaples, Boiling oil (Britannia Campaign), Greek Firethrowers (Crusades Campaign), Mangonels (Teutonic Campaign). All new features.
