GeoServer normally addresses this by using a heuristic, returning a KMZ with network links back to the server which will return dynamic content based on the zoom level, either an image overlay or straight feature, and that has some ability to retain scale dependencies. I cannot comment more on your case since you haven't shared the link used to produce the KMZ (there are a lot of options), but long story short, some styling features are not available in KML and others can only be mimicked if you choose certain generation options (e.g., if you use the "download" mode then scale dependencies are surely getting lost).
