I need to smoothly move the character node (KinematicBody2D. However, this node is not suitable for these purposes, as I understood from the documentation. In that case, which node should I use?) up to certain coordinates, however, this node cannot be controlled by the player. I tried to do something with MoveAndSlide, but it works extremely doubtfully. I didn't find anything in the documentation (probably I searched badly). Maybe there is some method of implementation?

A KinematicBody2D can move smoothly. If you move it a small amount in _physics_process(), which is nominally called 60 times a second, the movement will appear continuous.

Where does the documentation say that a KinematicBody2D is not suitable for this?

You need to use the delta variable.

Vector3 dir
dir= dir*speed*delta
Vector3 newloc=oldloc+dir

Something like this can be done.
