That would be TOTALLY awesome! I do remember another old NES game involving a flying awesome guy actually.
Didn't Pit only learn to fly by the end of the game? It really wasn't about flight at all except at that last part. Still, it would be awesome to have a game with Kid Icarus gameplay only with FLIGHT as the main method of doing pretty much everything. When I think Kid Icarus, I think of a game with a LOT of exploration but in stages. It really was a gem of a game, that many things have done before, but if they add flight, it could make the next Kid Icarus game unique again. Yeah, I know Banjo and Kazooie fly, but it's only sometimes. This would have to be pretty much all the time excepting maybe a few stages. It would also I think have to involve massive worlds as opposed to singular tunnels, since Star Fox could do that.
Anyway lazy, yes I think that would be completely cool. However, that certainly is reaching quite a bit. They did it before, they did it TWICE before (I believe Metroid Prime was originally another game right?), but that's no evidence they are doing it because they haven't said a single thing about anything close to that to hint at it. Sure, there's no proof it WON'T happen, but that's not enough.
On that thought, if they ever did make a 3D Kid Icarus game, what would the whole "mood" be anyway? The original Kid Icarus was very much a light hearted adventure loosely based on greek mythology, VERY loosely (also there were metroids). I think that they could easily make it into a serious story if they wanted to, but they could also very easily keep it just a fun lighthearted thing. Either one would be fine for me, so long as they keep the greek mythology and keep themselves freed enough to twist and change and add to and even ignore it however they want.
