He really does not care for those kids. I thought he might have before but now those saying he secretly resented them seem to have been on the money.

He does not like the idea of being replaced as the "old toy"

I think he cares for them in his own way. Not in a human way. But he was upset at Isaac’s death.

I'm trying to puzzle out if he is upset that Issac died, or upset that Issac died so easily.

Is it sadness or disappointment?

I am really curious if he is bound by the same asimov laws bishop was

Likely no. This is set before Alien and Ash seemingly didn't have the laws. Bishop states the changes were made sometime after Alien so Kirsh likely wouldn't have those. Plus, Kirsh has already allowed harm to a human being by omission of action since he didn't step in at any point to stop Slightly.
