As of JMeter 5.3 you cannot generate HTML reporting dashboard from .jtl files in XML format, according to the documentation:

The dashboard generator is a modular extension of JMeter. Its default behavior is to read and process samples from CSV files to generate HTML files containing graph views. It can generate the report at end of a load test or on demand.

The easiest way of getting the response data into the HTML reporting dashboard is artificially failing the sampler(s) via JSR223 Assertion and setting assertion failure message to be current sampler's response data, example code:

AssertionResult.setFailure(true)
AssertionResult.setFailureMessage(prev.getResponseDataAsString())

You will be able to get something like:

If this solution is not acceptable you can amend the report-template to represent whatever you want (the knowledge of Java and Freemarker will be required)
