I think she calls them foolish spirits mostly out of disrespect. Their power is irrelevant; They do not live or change, why are they in the land of the living?

It's more of a "you don't belong here, you absurd spirit" than "you are literally stupid, ghost".

Of course, it's possible that she doesn't know their power. Honestly, we don't even know their power. They're sort of vaguely described.

Kindred is clearly some analogue for the force of Death, but that doesn't mean they're omnipotent. Their lore explicitly says that the essence of a story is more important than its factuality, so it's hard to say whether or not everything in it can be taken at face value.

Bard's power and abilities are given almost no context or scale whatsoever. As far as we know, Bard may be literally omnipotent, and just capricious and incomprehensible, but the fact remains that neither Bard nor Kindred live or change in the conventional sense, and neither of them belong among mortals.
