I don't think you can. The id is used now so that you can rename visualizations (even if you're already added them to a dashboard).

Why do you want them to match?

Are you trying to automatically list all the visualizations and dashboards in your website by querying Elasticsearch? Or are you manually adding individual visualizations and dashboards to your website?  
Depending on that, maybe I can offer some suggestions.
