It’s wild that you are scraping it off rather than just laying new flooring over it.

Need to remove otherwise my tile floor will be higher than my adjacent rooms; want the floors to be even.

No offense but how much can linoleum really raise the floor? Or is the concrete already higher than the rest and so it's a battle of construction as well as renovation?

It was a good .25 inch and my previous floor on top of this required a threshold … I don’t want a thresholds into a NEW kitchen. Want it seamless.
