Replace kicking with reporting. Only kick when a reporting threshold has been met, this will likely need some tweaking and should be kept secret.
Group everybody with high rates of submitting reports into a separate queue to keep all the toxic players away from the normal players. Normal players don't have to deal with their bullshit, and they can all be miserable together, blaming each other for their own failures.
There are some justifyable reasons for kicking though. It's abuse of that process that is causing issues.
I do like the idea of grouping people with high incidents of kick actions though. It wouldn't be an instant fix but over time the two camps should separate out fairly nicely.
You could still kick people. You could start off with setting the threshold low like you get two reports in the same match and you get kicked. But telling a 12 year old that he can get rid of somebody else in the game is just giving him too much power and he's going to abuse it.
