With the bundled gradle disabled, File > New > Project... does nothing. Not from Intellij itself and not from the tools. I found this in the tools. This lead me to solve the problem but I think that some indication would be very helpful.

It's a known bug in the Kotlin plug-in. It needs Maven and Gradle plug-ins to work properly which are disabled in your configuration.
The solution is to either disable Kotlin plug-in or to enable Maven and Gradle plug-ins.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
