I think you're reaching quite a bit here.

Generally when we use the term kaiju we're talking about monsters in film. You've dipped into videogame territory to give rationale for why Bruce should be a kaiju.

If he didn't do it on film, then I don't think it's good evidence.

The most extreme things the shark does all happen in the fourth film (stalking a specific family somehow, roaring, exploding etc...) which is universally seen as a piece of crap because it's still supposed to be a shark at the end of the day.

We suspend our disbelief and allow the creators artistic license to craft stories and to create tension within those stories.

If Bruce wasen't smarter, and larger than average great white then Jaws gets boring. The shark certainly fills the role of a monster in the film, but it's not actually a monster.

For me, both feet have to be firmly planted in fiction for me to say it's a kaiju.

I'll use your Moby Dick reference to illustrate my point. You say an average male spaerm whale is 67 ft while Moby Dick is 90 ft. I'm rounding here, but that's roughly a 35% increase in size.

The average human male is 5'10 (i'm going to round that to 6ft in my calculations) and that tallest man ever was 8'11 (rounding to 9ft). That's an increase in height of 33%.

It doesn't seem completely unthinkable.

Godzilla, Gamera, Mothra, Ghidorah etc.. can only exist within our minds. Bruce and Moby Dick are still plausable within our reality, however unlikely.
