Close to being correct, but sadly only close. Lets see what holds up. Ranged poke. Eh. Its not very strong, and as a farming tool its not very good either (especially since its numbers got nerfed and it cant onehit the casters as easily anymore). Meaning for CSing, he has to rely on autoattacks and Q. Sadly, Akali does a better job with her Q. As for agressing on the enemy, thats a bad idea as Kha. With minions in the way its hard to hit your W, but even if you do the damage is low. And your kill potential is null anyway.

Also only partially correct. Yes, lategame mana is better than energy, and undeniably, Akali runs into some energy problems. However, not as insane as you might think. If she avoids using her E, and instead only uses ult and Q, she will be able to sustain her energy with relative ease. Some might say that this reduces her damage, and it really does, but not by a huge amount. The damage her E deals is rather low. Additionally, her overall burst, and sustained damage is higher, thanks to the high scaling on Q, and the fact that using lichs bane is a valid choice. And GunBlade.

And this is the part that is plain incorrect. Kha has no more incentive or ability to build tanky than Akali does. Yes, he has utility, which is his only selling point, but the fact is, tanky Kha is less effective than Assassin Kha, simply because as a bruiser, you arent all that tanky but still deal no damage, and as a tank you just deal no damage at all, and only have ranged slows. Which is why noone builds Kha tanky. Instead, only a single defensive item. Also, Akali doesnt have to build full glass cannon. Its just that, just like Kha, its more effective. But with her heal, as well as Zhonyas being a good defensive choice, she can actually afford to even build 5 damage items, whereas Kha, even if he wants to build 5, has to build 4. But if you want to be tankier as Akali, nothing is stopping you.

The actual answer is "Kha got a 50% easy to hit ranged slow". And thats it. But as an assassin? Absolutely no reason to pick Kha over Akali in any situation.
