Why not install the Mac version of "Calibre" and convert the epubs to azw3, then sideload?
No use for publishing. Amazon upload for publishing on Kindle is normally epub. Sideloading only useful on epub apps and ereaders to test stuff. No Amazon tool behaves the same as uploading for publishing and then buying a published copy. Weird but true.

Also Amazon decides on delivery of format based on the customer's app or kindle, so you can't enforce azw3 vs KFX.

This sounds like it won't work as a real ebook (reflow to small screen or big font, or mono only display) but is really for tablets. So it needs either an app (for iOS and Android) or a PDF or a fixed layout or image based comic format (Amazon does package those up too, but usually you can't buy them if you select a real ereader as the destination).
