In science, especially physic, it is best to use absolute scale such as Kelvin or Rankine for ease of calculation and formula solving. See example for Gas law written in degree Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Instead of PV = nRT, we have PV = nRT + n.C
Solving V for change of T require taking care of constant C
In our common daily use, Celsius or Fahrenheit is working fine because we used to it.

Is kelvin a unit of temperature?
yes The Kelvin scale is a way of measuring temperature from absolute zero. The gradient is the same as the Celsius (or Centigrade) scale. Not actually a unit of heat, just a measurement of temperature.
