King's Cross is simply the London station which London trains depart from for the North so Rowling would have used it originally because Hogwarts is meant to be in Scotland.

However I suppose these names may still have significance.. Churchilll when overseeing plans for his own state funeral (such things are planned, prepared and even rehearsed way in advance of their subject's demise) was insistant that the French delegation and de Gaulle should arrinve at Waterloo rather than Victoria which was the normal station for the boat train.
