Wizards of the CoastChangeling applies in all zones, not just the battlefield.
-
Wizards of the CoastKindred is a card type (like creature or instant), not a supertype (like legendary).

Wizards of the CoastIf the target creature is an illegal target by the time Crib Swap tries to resolve, the spell won't resolve. No player will create a Shapeshifter token.
-
Wizards of the CoastKindred is a card type that allows noncreature cards to have creature types. For example, Echoes of Eternity is an Eldrazi (although not a creature) while on the battlefield and an Eldrazi card (although not a creature card) in zones other than the battlefield.

Wizards of the CoastChangeling is a characteristic-defining ability. It functions in all zones, not only while a card that has it is on the battlefield.

Wizards of the CoastThe subtype Shapeshifter that appears on the type line is mostly there to reinforce the flavor. A creature card with changeling is just as much a Kithkin, a Goblin, a Merfolk, and a Brushwagg as it is a Shapeshifter.
-
Wizards of the CoastIf an effect causes a creature with changeling to become a new creature type, it will be only that new creature type (unless the effect says "in addition" or similar). It will still have changeling; the effect making it all creature types will simply be overwritten.
-
Wizards of the CoastIf an effect causes a creature with changeling to lose all abilities, it will remain all creature types, even though it will no longer have changeling. This is because changeling applies before the effect that removes it.
