I know the show is called Blade and it would make more sense to focus on the titular character, but by giving us a great story for Tachibana at the start, it makes him feel all the more human. Not just a gun to aid in fight scenes and nothing more.

Tachibana was also the best character to start the plot and character development from. As much as I love Kenzaki, starting the plot with him would have been pretty boring, because we would have had no real conflict here. As for Hajime, it would have made the show way too short if we learned about him that early, so he stays a mystery.
Tachibana was a Kamen Rider for the longest time and a friend to Kenzaki, so he would let Kenzaki take action with whatever he did. He had no direct connection to the Undead which makes it easier to keep their plot form unfolding for quite a while, but he did have some suspicions about Board so he was the most logical choice to set the plot in motion with- Kenzaki would've been way too naive at this point to suspect anyone of anything anyway (not to mention it wouldn't fit the characters to switch roles. Being semi-villain-ish is not something that Kenzaki could pull off).
