From page 1, I understand that kit Kat cannot be flashed through mop as it needs new bootloader, so to flash it is by Odin, correct ?
After flashing it, yes we still can remain the virginity of Knox but without root, so easiest way to root it is CF auto root? Since tripping Knox is unavoidable....

Upgrading between Android revisions It is not uncommon that if the you're upgrading to a new firmware with a new Android version that you need to flash bootloaders, trustzone, etc. before the firmware will boot. Mobile ODIN does not flash those partitions, so you need desktop ODIN for that.
A feature has been added to boot into download mode after the Mobile ODIN flash. You can use this to flash the new firmware (with EverRoot enabled), follow by a boot to download mode to flash a modified package with only the bootloaders (and trustzone and such, but not system), followed by a reboot to recovery to apply the CSC, finally followed by the full Android boot.
That way you can upgrade Android versions and bootloaders while staying rooted. Providing the new Android version doesn't actually break the included root, of course.
You can try but bootloader is something very tricky. May end up like me and solo total hard brick. Plus if with new bootloader flashed probably you knox will remain 0x0 only until factory reset or flashing the next rom.
