Sometimes ability is not necessarily the most suitable, it depends on the situation and the future. May is better than Yongzheng, but some things in Yongzheng may not be replaced by May. I think Emperor Kangxi passed it on to Yong Zhengdi for three reasons:

First of all, Yongzheng was honest and strict in handling things. From his handling of state affairs when he was in office, it can be seen that his daily activity was reading the memorial, and he was also one of the few emperors in history who were exhausted by staying up late. Mei is tactful in dealing with people, but she looks like a nice guy everywhere, where no one wants to offend. This is very unfavorable to the emperor or some executives, because the king should have the majesty of the king and do things by iron and blood. Doing this will only make the relationship between the two sides worse, and things will never be handled. Moreover, many ministers in Kangxi's later years took bribes and needed the justice of the May 4th Movement to stop them. The second reason is that Mei likes to form cliques and even draw three brothers to stand in his own camp. Kangxi is very angry about such things. He thinks that it is the behavior of the villain and the dignity of the royal family, so Mei has violated the bottom line of Kangxi and naturally despises Mei.

Then the third point is that Yongzheng had a lively and intelligent son, Gan Long, who was a hot potato in the eyes of Emperor Kangxi, and Kangxi loved this grandson very much. If you want to pass the throne to Qianlong, you must pass the throne to Yongzheng, because your son can't pass it on to your grandson. Therefore, Yongzheng's throne seems to be doomed by heaven, after all, it is his.
