This import tool for blogger is creating issues now. Many people reported the problem. The message from Google is “The site “https://xxxxxx.com” has not been registered.”” . I tried many options including blogger2wordpress appspot tool but didn’t work .. I have tried many ways and finally succeeded using batch import and blogger2wordpress tool. If interested I have compiled a post about this topic on globinch.com

You can very well use a custom page as your blogs home page. This is explained in wordpress codex.
If nothing of this sort works then you can add a redirect in your .htaccess file. But creating a custom page and setting it as your default home page is pretty easy in wordpress.
