It is so utterly random that Kageyama trots out his medical training (???) to ruin Daisuke's life. Of anyone in the show to deliver that news, it's so perfect that it comes from Kageyama gleefully destroying Daisuke's future.
Daisuke comes out so great in this that, if I'd watched 17 and 18 back-to-back, I'd've probably not even noticed what an asshole he was in 17. He's so heroic, that it's easy to forgive his earlier awfulness.
...which, honestly, is why I'm glad I watched them individually? 18's great, no mistake, but the
story
of 17 and 18 has some real weird decisions in the first half that the second half mostly ignores. It's... the plot ends up being sort of janky, but the character work more than makes up for it. Still! 17 had problems!

very excited to meet kamen rider horobi in the coming episodes of kabuto

It's going to be a tough story to beat, for sure!

Well, this isn't random, it's a villain plot. I'm definitely okay with bad things happening to characters in a story if the villains are doing it to further their goals, like ZECT is here.
To your other points... I mean, yeah, 17 has obvious problems with Daisuke acting somewhat-to-massively out of character, and while I don't think 18 explains or obviates those flaws, there's a way of looking at Daisuke's mission here as one where everything before it doesn't
matter
. There's a clarity of purpose, and it makes his previous actions not super pertinent anymore.

I just assume Tendou snacks as he's making Juka's breakfast.

In those final moments of the episode, he's a lonely hero riding a motorcycle wherever the wind takes him. In other words, Daisuke Kazama is a Kamen Rider.
That's one of the many things that makes his sacrifice so heartbreaking: the only person who'd congratulate him, whose praise he'd value, is Gon. He did this heroic thing and there's literally no one to share it with. Like, even the end of Blade had two people who were able to recognize what they gave up. Here, it's just Yuriko's look of terror. (The fact that the show could've sweetened it by having her, like, fill in his sentence without knowing why, and they
still
just left her hiding behind her mom!) They are twisting the knife on this one!
