Good theory, but in the books Simba definitely treats Kopa like his son. He also looks a lot like him. Perhaps a similar looking lion was Kopa's father and Nala didn't tell Simba until later on in the cub's life.
I would have liked to know more about Kopa, but I definitely wouldn't have liked it if Kopa had been in Kiara's place in Simba's Pride, cause then Kovu wouldn't have been shown as much as he was
He would have to have a purpose though. Who knows, maybe they thought about it. But then again, they needed a female to be Kovu's queen. If Kopa was there he would be the oldest.

That's true. Plus, they probably thought they had too many new characters.
