Most of the episode was alright, but that last minute or two was well beyond what I expected from them. Kudos!
My various fanfics.Hahahahahahhahahahhahaha!
No.
King Kai frequently tells off Goku for getting him killed. Especially in Super. In fact, there was a whole episode where Goku finally agrees to wish King Kai back to life, but suddenly everyone else has a wish to make too and the wish end sup getting wasted.

I mean. Goku never got wished back.
Another even higher god died to give Goku his life force.
The Earth Dragon Balls can only resurrect someone once anyway, unless that limitation got changed by Super because of course it fucking did.
I guess King Kai could have called New Namek, but. There's probably a rule against it in the bureaucracy somewhere.

It got changed here. Earth's Dragon Balls got upgraded to two wishes and multiple resurrections by Dende. Or am I remembering wrong and they were just upgraded two and couldn't go to three because then it'd be one rez at a time? Abridged also nixed immortality, though I forget if the reglar canon did anything like that.
Either way, as mentioned
the Namekian Dragon Balls lack that limitation.

Yeah, I realized my mistake.

Yeah, but they could have just gotten the Namekian Dragon Balls. Goku didn't come back because he figured it'd be better for everyone if he stayed gone.
Ironically, I've seen a lot of people who agree with that sentiment, and yet also like to complain about Goku actually saying it. Those people might just dislike Goku on principle.
There's a difference between "multi-rez" as in bringing back more than one person at once, and bringing the same person back multiple times.
The Namekian Dragon Balls can bring back one person at a time, but can bring back any given person as many times as you want.
The Earth Dragon Balls can bring back entire populations, as many people as you want without limit, but can't bring the same person back to life if that person has already been brought back by Shenron.
And. Could they have used the Namekian Dragon Balls?
They don't know where New Namek is. Goku used Instant Transmission to get Dende, and Goku being dead means he's not allowed in the mortal universe anymore.

I mean, Instant Transmission can physically take you from the mortal universe to Otherworld and back, but Goku being dead apparently bars him from crossing that veil freely.
I dunno if it's that there's an impenetrable barrier or if it's just against the rules or what.
But I feel like it's implied (for the manga, anyway, who knows with the anime) that the Gods and Yenma could just take Goku's body away at any time.
And still in the anime for Super, I guess Yenma is able to keep Golden Frieza in line in Hell somehow.
...Now, there is the question of why King Kai doesn't use his universal telepathy to contact Moori, and have Moori wish back. Himself, at least.
I dunno if King Kai would want to reward Goku for killing a God. That seems like it'd be frowned upon. King Kai still likes Goku so he won't press charges or take his body away or whatever, but. Still. Letting Goku go home like it never happened, seems off.
...Yeah taking him to fight in an Otherworld Tournament is a reward for Goku, but it also gives King Kai bragging rights with his fellow Kais, so.
...Huh.
Son of a bitch.
I never thought of Dragon Ball teleportation.
I know Piccolo did it to get to Namek, but.
Huh.

I dont think they have used the earth dragon balls since they were upgraded to resurrect someone who had already been resurrected with them. wasn't it the namek balls that mass res'd everyone at the end of buu? of course if namek's balls can go from 3 wishes but only one resurrection per wish to 3 wishes but you can resurrect most of a planet earths could have been upgraded to bring someone back more than once.

He's salty about it in Super, so.
