I agree, I don't think she stole Aaron; as you say we have no logical reason to presume this: she has no past experiences of kidnapping/nor is she particularly fond of children...
However, I don't really think Kate took Aaron with the idea that she would use Aaron to aid in her case. As, well, we know she did what she could to avoid using Aaron in her case.
It's possible, I suppose, that Kate originally thought that (use Aaron to improve her standing) but - after creating a bond with Aaron - decided not to use him in the case (he's never mentioned during the trial, from what I remember, and from what I know - which is rather limited - the jury is asked only to use information and evidence in court to make a decision...)
I do think Kate is the kind of person who could do something like this, but from what we've seen I'm all but certain she didn't or at least changed her mind. Lest I'm missing something glaringly obvious!
