Those should do.

Is there a reason why you do it this way and you use all these
options? Or is this just something you found on google?

Please try a much simpler approach for testing debian:

virt-install --virt-type kvm --name buster-amd64 \
--location http://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/buster/main/installer-amd64/ \
--os-variant debian10 \
--disk size=20 --memory 4096

This is btw. from the debian wiki (https://wiki.debian.org/KVM)
