On the one hand you are saying that a cover PAGE(aka cover.xhtml??) should not be included in an epub that you uploaded to KDP. Then you say that a cover IMAGE is allowed.

But isn't the cover IMAGE situated in the cover PAGE ??

So how can you not have a cover PAGE while at the same time have a cover IMAGE in an epub??

Unless I'm missing something, you seem to be inferring that the cover IMAGE is not situated in the cover PAGE but is entirely separate from the cover PAGE. I admit that I am having a problem with that.

How can a cover IMAGE be present when the cover PAGE is not there??
Easy. It is flagged as "unused" by the typical EPUB check.
EPUB2 requires BOTH the page and the Image have the 'cover' flag
