You need to install packages manually. They're not installed by default to have a faster installation, but you can perfectly add all of them from the command line.
(remember to run sudo apt update before doing any search/install)
To search the name of a package run apt search <name> and then install it via sudo apt install <pkg>
If you want to install all the packages that come preinstalled with the default kali install kali-linux-default sudo apt install kali-linux-default
