He was a phenomenonal player, that doesn't make him a better striker than Kane.
Stop comparing TEAM accomplishments when comparing two individual footballers.
Rooney played for, at one time, the best team in the world and barely managed to score more than 20 league goals in a season (managed twice in his whole career) and played in a lot more talented England squads and scored 1 World Cup goal.
Rooney was excellent. Peaked early but was fantastic. A great footballer, could do it all but as a striker? Kane takes it for me and id argue he'd also get in every team in world football.
Fair challenge. I disagree but that's fine.
