The content type Id in your exception is the one for Page from the classic publishing infrastructure feature and the parent of that is SystemPage from the same feature. You probabaly have had that feature enabled on the source site at some time. This content type is not available in an out of the box Communication site or Team Site.

It is not really a good idea to apply a template exported from a site with one site template to a destination site with another site template if you haven't cleaned the template manually from unnecessary objects and you will also need to make sure that the same features are enabled in the destination site as in the source site. Also in this case I would say that the classic publishing infrastructure features are not supported in modern sites but I can't find an official statement on this right now so don't quote me on that.

Since this is a template from a Communication site you are probably not using that content type and could safely remove it from the template.

You are right that the Id is of Page Content Type. But in the source site(template), only the below Content Types are listed. Which one should I remove? https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/102665699/160900037-ff3d9822-aceb-4243-9b87-a0e97d208ae1.png

Site Content Type ------ Parent Content Type

You need to check the xml-template you are trying to apply since that is the one probably containing the erronous content types. Find it there and just comment it out and try to apply it again.
