With the revival of long distance service to the East via the Pennsylvanian I think the station could also serve an Amtrak lounge and baggage facilities.
At last check only two Amtrak trains per direction serve Kansas City. The lone Amtrak route serving Detroit does have six daily trains total [[three per direction), so it could make sense in the long run, especially with those recent plans for a long-distance service running New York-Michigan-Chicago, almost always either an extension of the Pennsylvanian west of Pittsburgh or a reroute of the Lake Shore Limited so that it turns north in Toledo to serve Michigan.
