When I ls all files in CentOS 7, I get very few directories and there's no bin, no lib etc
What happened here?

You are executing ls in home directory. The current working directory ~ is shown in prompt after hostname (localhost). ~ is current user's home directory.
You should run ls /, or change directory by cd / before running ls, if you want to see contents of the root directory.
You are in the home of root. That explains why you have the anaconda-ks.cfg.
To get ls by itself to return bin, lib, lib64 and so on and so forth, you need to first run one of the following:
cd /usr
cd /
And the run ls.
You can also run one of these:
ls /
ls /usr
Basically, in CentOS, those directories exist in /usr ( there is also a symlink to them in /) and not in /root which is where you've been running ls.
