It seems as though the various armors in Races of Ansalon (linen armor, kite shield, brigandine etc.) are missing stats. The descriptions for all the armors are present and accounted for, but there is no stat table listed. Any idea where I might find that?

linen armor is most likely the same as padded armor

as likely a kite shield is analogous to a tower shield, as it is evidene by varous 3rd ed depictions of towe shiels being what we would call kite shields in the real world.

brigadine is a bit more.. different BUT due to the linear way that armor is portrayed in D&D it probably is the same as scale mail in terms of stats.

Based on the description given for a kite shield in Races of Ansalon I'd just make it a variant heavy shield.

There's brigandine armor in Oriental Adventures that's just a slightly worse and almost half-as-cheap scale mail.
