icloud.com only supports importing contacts from a vCard file (.vcf). Try exporting your contacts from Outlook as a vCard.

You have the option to transform your CSV contact list into VCF format, which is compatible with iCloud. I've come across a recommended converter tool with a manual that can assist you in this process that How to upload contacts to iCloud. Once you've successfully converted your contacts to VCF, you can proceed to upload them to your iCloud account.
