It would depend on your view of the assassination. If you view Kennedy's assassination as a statement to other powerful coalitions located either within the US or abroad, perhaps as part of a larger movement being orchestrated by these coalitions, that either the coalition is now in charge, or as signal (we did are part we disposed of Kennedy, now you do your part and remove Khrushchev) then the reason for killing him is moot. Whether Kennedy supported the oil depletion allowance or not is not an issue, whether or not he wanted to pursue the cold war or not is not relevant because the reason for his execution was to make a statement or send a signal to another powerful coalition or coalitions.
If you view the assassination as a solely domestic plot initiated by a group of powerful US interests who came together only because they had grievances against Kennedy and who found a solution to their problems by executing him, then the president's agreement with them on major policy issues would have deterred them from removing him from office.
