It should be stressed that Kant's noteworthy because he took Hume's empirical worldview which up to that point seemed indisputable and managed to merge it with a Rationalistic worldview, thus creating a hybrid that is still the framework to this day.
I think you're question is fair, but nuanced. Everything has to partly be based on experience, sure, because to exist is to experience existence. But there is such a thing as a priori knowledge that is independent of experience and true by definition. For example: "All bachelors are unmarried." I think Kant's argument of the categorical imperative falls under that. Essentially you can come to rational conclusion purely inside of your mind without getting up off the couch and going outside to experience them.
Or did you mean something else?
