Just launch kdebugdialog and disable the debug areas for Kate. Then it is going to be silent.
This is the official way of dealing with this issue. We won't implement a solution that is special to Kate, sorry.

Unfortunately that is not enough. On Kubuntu you still get a lot of "Enchant dict for ....." and similar lines.

But don't worry here is your magic option to remove them ;) 

kate 2> /dev/null

example:
kate 2> /dev/null -n some_file_to_open_in_a_new_window.txt
