Kimi kept his distance from Gaara while attacking which is why he got caught from underneath which lead him to being hit. Kakashi has seen Gaara fought twice so he knows how he fights so I don't see much of a reason for Kakashi to try the same. As long as Kakashi runs in to attack Gaara himself he'll be able to reach him.
Gaara has barely fought in the air in part one, the only he did was "fly" to only dodge Kimi's bones forest, before that he never tried to fly and attack against Kimi and that includes when Kimi went CS lvl 2 and was rushing in at him so I don't have much of a reason to think Gaara is likely to do such here. Even if I was to assume Gaara would do such an unlikely thing Gaara has no feats of actually flying through the air or dodging attacks to suggest that Kakashi can't simply jump and reach him.
This is basically what I'm trying to say, you guys are equating Gaara's shippuden feats to his younger self which you simply cannot do. Gaara showed no feats for being able to create Sand Tsunami from the air, and like Antdog said, if he could fight in the air as a kid, he would have done so when he was getting rushed by Kimimaro. He hasn't shown any of these feats = he loses.
