Unsure that raw kale is easily accessible to the body, I know that some greens are not. Baby kale may be different.
I either sautee kale or make kale-chip-crack from it. Lacinto kale makes especially good chips!

If you mean the tough cell walls, that's the beauty of massaging it. You mechanically break the cell walls, so it's as easily digestible as cooked greens, with all the nutritional benefits of raw.
If you mean the oxalic acid, I'm not sure that's a reason to avoid raw greens (or beets, carrots, etc.), just not to OD on them.

My favorite kale salad: 1 head kale + juice of 1 lemon + 1 avocado + sea salt. Massage all together and yum!

I either saute it with a little garlic and lemon juice, add it to soups, or make a kale and potato gratin (just found the recipe this year and it is really good!).

sauteed and tossed with white beans, pasta and whatever else I have on hand, or massaged and made into a salad with quinoa, chickpeas, feta etc.

shred kale (any variety) mix with 1 or 2 Tbs lemon juice, add a big handful of sunflower seed and cottage cheese to sort of bind it together. Great on hot,
muggy, summer evenings.
I like mine sauteed in bacon fat or olive oil with some garlic (and crumbled bacon mixed in after cooking), in soup, sauteed in oil with mustard seeds, garlic, a bit of lemon juice and red pepper flakes. I tried something last year with garam masala and coconut, but I ran out of garam masala so I haven't been able to try it again.
It's also tasty cooked with sausage for breakfast. Mmm.
At least I don't leave slime trails.
