No, it isn't vote kick abuse. You're abusing the group by intentionally gimping yourself.
And which of the "dismiss-able" reason does wearing "inferior" gear violate?
AFK - definitely not, the person is playing
Offline - definitely not, the person is playing
Harassment - a weak maybe at best. definition of Harassment: "the act of systematic and/or continued unwanted and annoying actions of one party or a group, including threats and demands." The spirit of the rule is define an abusive action being inflicted.
Cheating - definitely not.

Thus, kicking someone for wearing "inferior" gear is definitely abusing the system.
