Not sure what kit zoom means. It include lens: https://www.amazon.com/Canon-Rebel-T7-18-55mm-II/dp/B07C2Z21X5

The bundles are garbage, and I would buy from an authorized dealer instead.

If you want a Canon, the Canon T7 is better:

Or if your budget is tight, look at the refurbished cameras sold by Canon with full warranties:

I got this for starting ~3 years ago: https://www.amazon.com/Canon-Rebel-T7-18-55mm-II/dp/B07C2Z21X5 it's the same camera and I got a SD card and cheap (~20$) bag separately.

The bundle you're showing itself seems full of junk, but the 2000D / Rebel T7 is a very good starting point, even with the stock 18-55 lense. It's not the best in the world but has been designed with beginner in mind and I think is very good for this. You can always latert upgrade the lense and/or the body based on what you'll see you use it the most for.

The kit you posted is $549 (if based in US).
The single lens kit listed here is $399

With the extra $150, you could get a used Sigma 70-300 DG Macro from KEH. Or even better, spend just $20-30 more and get a used Canon 70-300 IS USM. Much better glass than the kit 75-300, and has image stabilization, also from KEH. I list KEH since it is less risky buying from them than from an ebay/craigslists/facebook seller.

The 18-55mm kit lens is OK. A 50mm f1.8 is better AT 50mm, but the kit lens gives a lot of flexibility if you want to take lots of different pictures, so I wouldn't worry about that lens. You'll get it on an Canon EF-S camera as the kit lens. I'm just saying don't get the 75-300 kit zoom. (and you don't really need the bag, it doesn't even look good quality. just use a backpack, or the camera strap, and when you get more gear you want to carry around with you, get something purpose built that you like).
