No problem. This is the error you need to fix:

I see above that you've already tried to set "Options +Includes" on the
directory, but for some reason it isn't working. You'll have to look for
it, but I can make an educated guess.

When including the various conf files, apache does them in alphabetical
(or numerical, in this case) order. The modules.d directory will be
included first, and then vhosts.d directory because that's the order
specified in httpd.conf:

  Include /etc/apache2/modules.d/*.conf
  ...
  Include /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/*.conf

The alphabetical/numerical order is (probably) just whatever order the
shell glob returns.

When you specify "Options +Foo" for a directory, you're saying, "take
whatever the current options are for this directory, and add Foo to
those." My guess: you specify some options for,

  /var/www/localhost/htdocs

in,

  /etc/apache2/modules.d/00_default_settings.conf

and then later, specify *different* options for the same directory. The
latter ones take precedence, or wipe out the old ones completely if you
didn't use plus/minus signs.

Either modify the other,

  <Directory /var/www/localhost/htdocs>

entry to use plus/minus signs, or just add the "Options Includes" there.
