2x4s run behind the cabinets because space was needed for the waterlines to the sink. There's about a 2 inch gap at the top. The baseboard in the pic isn't attached. I just put it in the pictures to give an idea of what I'm dealing with. Any suggestions?

Is a fridge going to right of the cabinet? If so just leave as is? If not I would probably cut the baseboard at the cabinet and run a piece of trim from the floor to the top of the cabinet on the backside to cover the gap and paint the same color as the cabinet

No idea what you are trying to do. Get that base out of the way first. Why you spaced the cabinets out for plumbing vs running everything in the wall is another mystery. I've done a lot of cabinet and trim work, remodeled an entire kitchen last summer, not seeing your goal here though...

Cut the baseboard out, try to get a little closer to the wall. Trim wood between the cabinet and wall. Your countertop will hide the void from the cabinet to the wall. Run your water line for the ice maker first.

If the water line was run neatly, you should be able to notch out the back side of the cabinets. That way the water line is on the inside of the carcass.
