As far as I understand Kagi displays results based on calls to Google and/or Bing. How can it be better than those then?

It just filters out crap.

And lets you determine what counts as "crap", by telling Kagi which sites you prefer and don't prefer to get results from.

As said in another comment, first there are particular filters builtin or that you can setup. To the point that you can even customize with css the way that results are displayed.

Not having half page of the results with ads is also great.

And in addition, results are not only from Google/Bing and other sources but they also use their own index.
