Just because he has DECENT attack, speed, and defenses, does not make him broken. He is literally the Kingdra of UU, and how many people use Kingdra?

While everyone of those Pokemon get beaten by a bulky water, like Walrein or Blastoise, Kangaskhan can just oneturn-Rest the attacks off. Besides, that's just three Pokemon while Kangaskhan is still fast, has nice defenses and a good Atk stat.
Kingdra and Kangaskhan can not be compared, because Kangaskhan is one of the most used UU Pokemon while Kingdra struggles. There is no Skarmory for Kangaskhan in UU, but there is Blissey for Kingdra in OU. Kangaskhan also has a better STAB move for its metagame and better type coverage. So no, it's not the Kingdra of UU.
To be honest, a Resting Kangaskhan is quite hard to deal with in UU, because none of the physical walls can fully wall it (Rest/SB/normal move/EQ). You can't kill it with status, only Fighting attacks are SE against it and with that HP it can shrug off almost any non-boosted attack twice or thrice before Resting it off.
The problem is that Ursaring is BL and with its monstrous Atk and an awesome trait, it does sort of outclass Kangaskhan.
