 * "he gave the bite to the nogitsune(which for all we know, probably would have killed the fox itself)"

Except they were looking for a way to free Stiles from the Nogitsune's control. The scroll said that in order to do so, they had to "change the host." He bit the Nogitsune, but there's nothing to suggest it would have "killed" it.


 * "let Kira stab it with no objections"

He had no objections because he was there when Noshiko told Kira the story of when/how the Nogitsune came to be; which, surprise-surprise, included Noshiko's stabbing of the Nogitsune and its expulsion from the host in the form of a fly. and its subsequent burial under the Nemeton.

So, to sum up, we saw it escape a stabbing previously (in the Noshiko Flashback) by expelling itself as a fly. There's nothing in the show that suggested a bite would kill the Nogitsune, nor would Kira's sword kill it. The only thing that was stated was that changing the host would free them of the Nogitsune's possession/control.
