I used google translate, I found this sentence means "the most important is xxxx"
ex:
Oh, and above all else, have fun!
It is strange to me, the 'else' here means all above not mentioned, isn't it?
so all the above mentioned is not important?

Above here doesn't mean previously mentioned, it means more than. The instruction to have fun is more important than any other advice that could be given.

Yes, you are right. "Above all else" is used to emphasize that a particular thing is more important than other things.
It's a variation of more common "Above all".
