Kubrick did filmed the moon landing, but also we did go to the moon. Why?
It was gov's backup plan in case we failed in the space war, K did not want to do this but was threatened to, maybe using his daughter's life as a lever.

Their sources are sketchy to say the least. Considering one of them refers to Kubrick as "who's the big, uhh, movie guy that [trails off]..."
Is there any evidence that Kubrick moon footage exists?
Apollo 8 successfully orbited the moon. Apollo 10 successfully orbited the moon. It was even said that the astronauts on those missions had to be prevented from landing on the moon because they were close enough and might be tempted to do so. Was there really a need to create backup fake footage?
In any case, I think the hundreds of photographs that were taken provide an excellent record of what actually happened:

The LEM wasn't ready (or attached) on Apollo 8, but 10 was a "dress rehearsal", so it's interesting NASA was concerned that the boys on that one might go for it...
