The red "X" which you circled in the image you posted, it refers to whether the dropdown filter menu is displayed or not. If you click it then the dropdown menu will appear and the red X will disappear.
The dropdown/pulldown filter menu is *not* displayed by default because it requires significant server resources to prepare that list, and on larger stores that will cause a serious slowdown when you try to view that page. If you need that feature, you can click it to turn it on and use it. But if you don't need it, then it won't cause any slowdowns on you either since it's disabled by default.
