There is also a cover image warning in the plugin already i.e. a cover image file should not be in your epub when you upload to KDP.

You're conflating things again.
KDP warns against including a cover
PAGE (meaning an xhtml file used for the sole purpose of displaying a cover image).
KDP has no issue with including a properly prepared, manifested cover
IMAGE that is identified through KDP's proscribed methods.
The request was that you change the warning that KDP doesn't allow cover
IMAGES to KDP doesn't allow cover
PAGES
Same for the request to check the image resolution of images. It is certainly
possible (as Doitsu pointed out), and it's certainly
allowed, since KDP does (and always has allowed cover
IMAGES to be present in uploaded epubs)
Cover
IMAGES: yes, great, allowed--encouraged actually by the Amazon Kindle Publishing Guidleines.
Cover
PAGES: no, bad, KDP doesn't want.
You should be warning about the addition of cover PAGES and not cover IMAGES.
