The fact it was revealed that Suzaku "dying" there was all part of a premeditated plan is what indicates he wasn't fighting with "everything he had" to get a clear victory over Kallen. It was part of the plan for him to fake-die in battle. Suzaku was surprised that he had to use the Live On Geass to just stay about on par with Kallen, but again, the fact he pre-planned his death means that he was trying to create a believable "dying" situation. He was surprised that he couldn't decisively manipulate the situation as easily as he hoped, but the show made it clear that he didn't want to "beat" Kallen there. Truly, the Guren SEITEN is a masterpiece since it forced Suzaku to use his Live On Geass in a situation where he would have easily manipulated the situation if Kallen were using an equivalent-spec mech to the Albion. Still, it looks like it wasn't quite high-spech enough for Suzaku to not overcome it anyway.

Faking death at the hands at Kallen was revealed to be part of Zero Requiem. Suzaku let her blow him up. His only goal all along was to not let Kallen interfere, not kill her.
