After some visualisations, I found that my token \titlefootnotes will ALWAYS generate two lines if there is/are any non-zero number of footnotes there. Interesting. So I need a \newif that each time a \thanks or \email is invoked, it'll set to true and I'll unskip the 2\lineheight afterwards. I still don't know why this \kern macro won't have any effect if it's inside a token or a \startsetup.
