I've considered whether Kai may or may not qualify, but ultimately, yeah, I don't think he cuts it. Strictly speaking, he's probably the most purely evil and malevolent villain in the Kung Fu Panda movies, but everything he does is far too easily undone and fixed in the end. While it's debatable whether he's outdone, or even equaled in heinousness by Tai Lung, since it's only confirmed he wreaked havoc on the village after he was denied being the Dragon Warrior, meaning he may not have actually hurt, let alone killed anyone, he's definitely outdone by Lord Shen. He also may have a bit too much of a humorous side to him to have the gravitas that villains who earn the label tend to be treated with, though I will admit, his intention to absorb the chi of the entire panda village when there was no really benefit to be had from it makes him come pretty close in my opinion.
