What does this actually do? Is it possible to use Kagi without providing them personal information to create your account yet?

From https://blog.kagi.com/kagi-privacy-pass#faq

Do you plan to allow purchasing privacy pass tokens without having an account?

Yes, this makes sense. This is possible because technically the extension does not care if you have an account or not. It just needs to be ‘loaded’ with valid tokens. And you can imagine a mechanism where you could also anonymously purchase them, eg. with monero, without ever creating an account at Kagi. Let us know here if you are excited about this, as it will help prioritize it.

Well, hopefully the get on that. They have to realize that a large portion of their target demographic (people fed up with garbage search) also rightly don't want their search histories tied to their real identities.

That’s… what Kagi Privacy Pass already does. Whether or not you trust it is a different issue.
