Kingpin's motivations in Into the Spider-Verse are fairly simple. He lost his family during a fight with Spider-Man, and wants to bring them back. As with most interpretations of the character, this family involves one Vanessa Fisk, Kingpin's only love and a character uniquely intolerant to the idea of being married to a real-life crime boss.

That interpretation may have changed for Daredevil Season 3 (where Vanessa actively encourages her partner's evil-doings), but it stays for Into the Spider-Verse. Vanessa can later be seen in the final fight sequence between Miles and Wilson, where she briefly flutters between dimensions, afraid - yet again - of her husband to be.
