If the element krypton disappeared from the Earth it would be hardly noticeable.

Since Krypton makes up about 0.000114% of the atmosphere the atmosphere would decrease by that fraction.

The effect on atmospheric pressure would be about what you would get from the elevation change of putting on a pair of sneakers with a 1 cm thick sole.

Since krypton is essentially non-reactive no one would notice the loss of any compounds (no krypton compounds in the first place).

There would be a TINY decrease in the amount of inert gas available for inert gas welding. The cost per weld might go up a fraction of a cent.

The biggest effect would be scientists freaking out wondering where that missing element in the Periodic Table went to.
