Simple as that. Uploaded to Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) sans problem.

Moreover, footnotes appear on their own individual page with a nice "back" arrow for the user to get back to where they clicked the footnote.
Warning: if you have your book in Kindle Select, and in the borrowing program where you're paid by pages read, you could be headed for serious, can-get-you-banned-by-Amazon-for-it trouble. Amazon has absolutely no sense of humor, at all, about anything that they perceive as trying to inflate the "page count" (which includes, creating utterly unnecessary additional HTML files), so as to inflate the pages read figure in this program. What you've done, by creating each footnote on its own HTML page, artificially inflates the page count of the book and the pages read. (And, fwiw, it infuriates readers who like to read footnotes and endnotes in a chunk.)

If you're not in it, AND no reader complains, then you'll likely be fine. But, don't enter into that program, or you could be in the deep doodoo.
