I guess, you don't find it intimidating, but many other people do?
This is the key issue with cycle campaigning - the people who already cycle are the ones who aren't intimidated - and they're also many of those involved in campaigning. A lot of people tend to think, well, if I can do it, everyone else can - but that's not necessarily true.

I mean "what's the problem" as in - "please describe the bits that are a problem to me", not "how come people have a problem". I genuinely would like to know how come that road is seen as especially bad because I can think of plenty I find worse, including some in Hackney.
In fact, I started out on the quiet bike route but swapped to the A10 when I realised it was far less worrying (fewer junctions, wider road, no double-parking)

What's the problem with Kingsland Road? I commuted that way for years on various slow bikes, including a raleigh with rod brakes, and never found it especially intimidating. I'm surprised to see it held up (down?) as the nadir of Hackney roads for cycling.
