The emphasis is mine here.

ROS Kinetic is not supported on Ubuntu Bionic (20.04), only on Ubuntu Xenial (16.04).

The error message is expected and correct: you cannot install ROS Kinetic packages using apt on Ubuntu Bionic.

You should be able to build it from source in a Catkin workspace.

I believe #q320046 is more exhaustive.
