Your index listing is not including the `.kibana` index at all, which doesn't explains why it can't be imported. Did you manually delete this index before get the listing?

Also all indices are in `red` state, so there are some serious issues going on with this node that is preventing the cluster to get to a working state so Kibana can work too.

I suggest that you:

1. Stop the node.
2. For every `uuid` in that index listing, move away the directory, with the same `uuid` name, from outside directory (under Elasticsearch data path) `nodes/0/indices`.
3. Start the node and verifies if Kibana can connect to it
