Why can't my bot kick users despite having admin perms and both intents enabled?

I made a kick command for my discord bot (hosted on repl.it). I enabled all of the intents and the bot has admin privileges, but still it raises an error Code:

intents = discord.Intents.all()
bot = Bot("$",help_command=None,intents=intents)
@bot.command()
async def k(ctx,member:discord.Member):
  await member.kick()

Error as text:

Ignoring exception in command k:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/virtualenvs/python3/lib/python3.8/site-packages/discord/ext/commands/core.py", line 85, in wrapped
    ret = await coro(*args, **kwargs)
  File "main.py", line 91, in k
    await member.kick()
  File "/opt/virtualenvs/python3/lib/python3.8/site-packages/discord/member.py", line 568, in kick
    await self.guild.kick(self, reason=reason)
  File "/opt/virtualenvs/python3/lib/python3.8/site-packages/discord/guild.py", line 1997, in kick
    await self._state.http.kick(user.id, self.id, reason=reason)
  File "/opt/virtualenvs/python3/lib/python3.8/site-packages/discord/http.py", line 248, in request
    raise Forbidden(r, data)
discord.errors.Forbidden: 403 Forbidden (error code: 50013): Missing Permissions

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/virtualenvs/python3/lib/python3.8/site-packages/discord/ext/commands/bot.py", line 939, in invoke
    await ctx.command.invoke(ctx)

    await injected(*ctx.args, **ctx.kwargs)
  File "/opt/virtualenvs/python3/lib/python3.8/site-packages/discord/ext/commands/core.py", line 94, in wrapped
    raise CommandInvokeError(exc) from exc
discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: Forbidden: 403 Forbidden (error code: 50013): Missing Permissions

I made a totally new bot and made the same kick command but it still raises an exeption!

Impossible...

...because the Member you tried to kick had an highest role higher than the Bot one.
For example, even if a Bot is an administrator, he can't kick the server owner.

Remember that a discord.Bot object is a way to interact with a discord Bot, which (using the API) can do the same things that a client would manage to do with the same permissions.
Try to kick the same discord.Member that your Bot tried to kick while having the same permissions: you won't be able to do it.

You should check the JSON Error Codes of the Discord API when you don't understand what a Discord.py exception is caused by.

This is because you have not provided a valid reason! Try this:

@bot.command()
async def kick(ctx, member: discord.Member, *, reason=None):
    await member.kick(reason=reason)
    await ctx.send(f'User {member} has kicked.')

Hope it works!
