It's unclear to what extent Naruto's ability to physically overpower Kurama in the mental tug-of-war was actually a result of Naruto's mental state. I don't believe it reflected Naruto's Sage Mode strength being on par with Kurama. Naruto received a huge power boost after speaking with his mother.

Basically, I'm not sure whether Naruto had to be able to actually fit Kurama, or if simply overcoming his dark side and possessing a strong Will would do the trick.
I think Kishi wanted to emphasize that it's Naruto's Will that counts, but he also wanted to give us some action to make it interesting, and Naruto vs. Nine Tails was somewhat hyped.
