You must install kubuntu-desktop witch installs KDE desktop and related packages needed.

do this by

sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop

You can leave unity by itself if you like, but if you want to remove them, you can totaly remove it by

sudo apt-get purge unity unity-2d

Well, another way to "get rid" of Unity completely is to install the Ubuntu Server Edition of your choice, then using the following command:

sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop

This will give you Ubuntu, with KDE.
