I have gerber files from a client

As a company policy, we have to shift to X2 for standardization.

This does not compute very well.
When you get files from customers, you pretty much have to deal with whatever you get. One possibility is to only accept Gerber X2 files from customers, but you risk loosing customers that way. And as retiredfeline already mentioned. There is not much KiCad can do with existing gerbers. Usually it is the endpoint of KiCad.

KiCad does have:

Reverse engineering KiCad project from Gerber files

The goal of this reverse-engineering tutorial is to re-create a complete KiCad project from partial information assuming the only information available is a schematic in some readable, (but not EDA form, such as a .pdf or a .png picture), and a set of gerber files. The Gerber files will create a PCB with much PCB information missing, however, using this method is easier than re-designing a PCB from scratch, and can also be extended to any other program that creates Gerber files. What is “resc…

But the process is far from automated, due to a lot of missing info in Gerber files. That method is nice to “rescue” a project, or a last resort to revive some project, but for daily work it is far to time consuming.

So, what is the business you are in? What are you doing with those files?
