Unfortunately this may have unrecoverably broken your cluster. See [these docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-node.html#data-path) for more information:

> **WARNING** : Don’t modify anything within the data directory or run processes that might interfere with its contents. If something other than Elasticsearch modifies the contents of the data directory, then Elasticsearch may fail, reporting corruption or other data inconsistencies, or may appear to work correctly having silently lost some of your data.

After several workaround remove data stream indice (trace-apm-default), then restart apm-server.  
Elastic create it with good health condition.  
Issue resolved.
