The correct example would be to use the npm package names, e.g.:

presets: ["babel-preset-es2015", "babel-preset-es2016", "babel-preset-es2017"].map(require.resolve)

have you run npm install?

I replicated the message with your package.json, .babelrc, and globally installed nodemon and babel-cli. I'd recommend you uninstall those modules globally, and any others that you can install locally instead, as they will just lead to confusion.

I'd also recommend

"start": "babel-watch server.js"

and babel-preset-env instead of babel-preset-es2015.

.babelrc

{
  "presets": [
    ["env", { "targets": { "node": "current" } }]
  ]
}
