Why are fungi and plants in different kingdoms?

Fungi have cell walls composed of chitin instead of cellulose (usually). Fungi also lack chloroplasts and are therefore unable to perform photosynthesis.

The closing evidence are molecular phylogenies, which pretty consistently group fungi with animals on the tree of life.
