Okay, I tried this, but it's not working for me.
Here's what I did and
what happened:
1) I renamed ~/.trinity/share/apps/kate to ~/.trinity/share/apps/kate~
2) I started kate (using its icon), then closed it.
kate created a new apps directory, with an empty sessions subdirectory.
In my case
it created also the file "default.session" in sessions subdirectory,
which I could then edit as demonstrated. But it is not necessary, see below...
3) I restarted kate and it still shows the sidebar
with the file names.
4) I tried creating and saving a dummy file to make kate create a session,
but its sessions subdirectory remains empty. :-(

After a little experimenting I found this
workaround:
1) Start with pristine kate config dir
cp ~/.trinity/share/apps/kate{,orig}
2) Open kate with no arguments and close it
3) Open ~/.trinity/share/apps/kate/sessions/default.session with an
editor and change these options to "false" and save file.
Kate-MDI-Sidebar-Visible=false
Kate-MDI-ToolView-kate_filelist-Visible=false
4) Next time you open kate it will neither show the side bar nor the
document list.
Maybe you have not noticed yet, but there is a new mail which point out a much
more convenient way to achieve what you wanted:

Kate -> Settings -> Configure Kate -> Session: provides option for session
management when opening and closing Kate. In particular if you choose
"Manually choose session" you will be presented with a dialog where to select
the session to use when you start Kate
After you close kate and start it again with no arguments a dialog will pop up
and ask for which session to open. In that dialog you can choose your preferred
session and click the button for keeping it permanently as your default
session. When you have done that, the dialog will not pop up again when you
start up kate next time, but your chosen default session will be opened.
