Can someone clarify why:

sentence A:
{ mi kakne lo bajra }

is not as good as

sentence B:
{ mi kakne lo nu bajra }

Assuming the rationale is that "nu" is necessary to mark an event/state, it
seems to me that since (event/state) is inherent in the x2 argument of
kakne, that adding the 'nu' would be superfluous.

Assuming the argument is that it becomes nonsensical to say sentence A, i.e.
"You can't say I can runner," I would think that argument is based on
English concepts of proper grammar, and that there should be no a priori
reason something like "I can runner" is "nonsensical."

Or is there some other veciski?
