If I deposit some Bitcoins with a trader like Kraken shouldn't I be earning interest on my bits?

Banks pay interest because they lend your deposit to people at a higher rate. It also protects you against inflation.
Bitcoins are more like gold. Interest isn't paid when you store your gold somewhere. both gold and bitcoins are hard to lend. Bitcoins even have deflation.

I agree with you. I haven't found any site which is providing such kind of interest for the deposit of BTC.

Unless you want the site to operate on a frictional reserve system and lend out your coins you are not going to earn interest on them
