does a kitchen have to have a 20A circuit?
Or is a dedicated 15A sufficient for power outlets? Assuming that garbage disposal, DW, fridge all have their own dedicated circuits.

In the US, you must have at least (2) 20 Amp circuits for your outlets that serve the kitchen counter areas.
In addition to all that other utilization equipment that you listed.
