Because Chidori/Raikiri are far better and stronger than rasengan.

Rasengan requires more chakra and wind is not his chakra nature

Because plot says no U_U

What I don't understand is why he can't use lightning blade as he would a Rasengan. Why did does he still need need sharingan to use it?

Because Jiraiya uses it better and it would be a lack of originality.

Rasengan doesn't have a chakra nature. Its your chakras spinning and spiraling very fast in a circle. Naruto was training for his nature to add wind to the rasengan

Because to use a stronger version of the rasangan you need to use more chakra. Kakashi does not possess large chakra pool.

Because kakashi likes to hit the heart or lung.

ne never needed the eye to use the jutsu he created. Minato made a recommendation about the original ''sprinting chidori'' leaving him open.
kakashi no longer uses it in that way. he can maintain activation while standing still.

Maybe it doesn't suit his fighting style? Who knows.

Because Kakashi's rasengan is weak Lol. It's tiny in comparison to any other rasengan.

Because He has a stronger jutsu.

Chidori has lightning element.

Why use Rasengan when he can use Raikiri? It's stronger and he's much more skilled with it than he is with Rasengan.

Because his rasengan without an element isn't as good as his raikiri. And he isn't enough of a chakra juggernaut to fire off some of the larger variations of base rasengan
