I'm at Knowledge Categories [kb_category] table, then I selected Import and then created following Excel to import new category.

Sys_id is copied from "Knowledge Category: Email".

Any ideas?

If you do an easy export of an existing one, you would see how it looks in Excel when updating/importing. For instance:

No need for sysIDs. Just the name of the parent category/kb.
