But here's why Kurtzman is likely 'King'.
First off April is sensitive to the Kraang and she had sensed someone is watching them when Kurtzman is introduced.
When he meets the Turtles, he tells them he had discovered the Kraang a year ago and he's been looking into and researching them ever since. Even for a paranormal investigator, the information that he has on the Kraang far too extensive for someone who has been looking into the Kraang for a year. Such as the info on the Kraathatrogons and how the Kraang uses them a source of mutagen and as a means of transport. We have seen the Kraang milking the Kraathatrogons for their mutagen, but haven't seen the Kraang riding them on Earth meaning that is something that is in Dimension X. And he notably doesn't reveal the existence of the Utrom. If he had been looking into the Kraang as much as he claims, he would have told the Turtles there are good Kraang called Utroms. The only reasons he wouldn't reveal that is because he was either sworn to secrecy about the Utrom. Or he is one of them.
And with the Utrom Council, there were two missing members, Knight and King. Knight is revealed to be Kraang SubPrime in the War for Dimension X.There is no mention of King which also means two things, King has already been converted into the Kraang. Or they are hiding his existence and location. If King was Kraang Prime, wouldn't KSP have taunted Queen and the other Utrom by saying King is running the show on their side.
Kurtzman could not reveal that he was an Utrom when he first meets the Turtles, because at that point the Turtles had only known the Kraang. And they would have trouble believing him because of that.
Bishop himself had told the Turtles that he was going against the Utrom Council by even telling the about what was going to happen in A.E. And again Kurtzman is notably absent in the last few episodes of season 3 and I doubt it's just because they couldn't budget the character.
Splinter was not surprised or offended by Bishop being in their lair. And that could mean that he had met an utrom before. When Kurtzman was hit by that errant blast, Splinter does say he needs to cauterize the injury. We know Casey had left to go grab bandages from the local CVS, but we don't know if April if was told to go with Casey once the Turtles left or she was simply told to leave the room.
Now that the Turtles have met the Utrom and know they exist, the question would be. Can King reveal his existence to the Turtles?

Interesting theory, but you forgot a couple of details. In "The Pig and the Rhino" April was able to sense Bebop, and he wasn't an Utrom. And the Utrom suits are most likely to not have heart pulses.
