Does Kaspersky's HIPS protect against like things trying to destroy the system?

If you are talking about disk wipers, Kaspersky can protect you from these by blocking untrusted apps and scripts. If you keep all your apps updated and to the minimum (do not install anything not needed), the possibility of something managing to sneak in and wipe your disk is very low. To find out how to configure Kaspersky to block untrusted apps and scripts, use one of the guides that @harlan4096 linked.

Have a default deny setup. But does Kaspersky protect core applications from malware?

Not sure what you mean, it protects from code injection. It doesn’t protect the integrity (no one does) but if you are running just trusted objects, nothing will attempt to damage them.
