I can see the current energy distribution on my energy dashboard. I would now like to use these values in ESPHome, are there already existing sensors for this? I haven't found any on Google or in the dev tools

No there's no sensors for the things calculated by the energy dashboard. (except for maybe a cost sensor)

Thats explains why I didn't find something... Is there a reason behind this? Feels strange to build a sensor now that make the same calculation again

Energy doesn't really use sensors at all, it pulls long term statistics, and then displays them based on the selected time window.
I guess the core integration could create sensors but it wouldn't use them.
Also it's not clear for what time range to create sensor. Current hour, current day, current month, current year?

The value I want to use is only a current usage, I want to use the numbers from this card: https://www.home-assistant.io/dashboards/energy/#energy-distribution

Not possible, sorry.
