It's 800RMB for the van, so if you've got a few people traveling with you it's actually cost effective.
Overkill, for the most part. And to call the difference between a taxi to border, walk across, and take MRT in to HKG, small is erroneous. 800RMB is $130 or so USD. I often spend $10-$15 doing it the other way.

There are also some shuttle buses that you can book through the hotel that aren't so expensive. I've taken them to the HKG airport before, I think they were $20-$25. Perhaps they have one going to Kowloon, as well.
