If you only have 7 days I would just do Kyoto/Osaka. Your Kyoto day is far too packed. Everything is in different parts of the city — not close— and you’re not going to be able to each them easily or stress free.
You also don’t need to visit Kobe to eat Kobe beef. I get wanting to do it in the city its famous from but if that’s the only thing you’ll do in Kobe it’s better to find it elsewhere.
You can type “kobe beef” in google maps in Kyoto or Osaka and find a myriad of nice, great quality restaurants.
