The combine option tells calibre to treat each of the files in the folder as a separate instance of the same book. Books in KFX format are composed of multiple files that together make up only one instance of the book.
The Kindle for PC app uses the file extension .md for KFX metadata files. Calibre will interpret that incorrectly as being a separate copy of the book in markdown format.
See the section "Importing from Kindle for PC" under "Importing KFX books into calibre" in the first post of the KFX Input plugin thread for information on how to ignore those .md files and make the import work better.

They are there in the folder that makes up a book in KFX format along with .azw, .res, and .voucher files. Your screenshot shows that you have file extensions hidden in Windows file explorer. (That is the default unless changed.)
