Try to use the argument: -sysdir and then check whether the error message displayed.

Check out these clip you will find out the reason:

// Sanity checks.
if (avdName) {
    if (!isCpuArchSupportedByRanchu(avdArch)) {
        APANIC("CPU Architecture '%s' is not supported by the QEMU2 emulator, (the classic engine is deprecated!)",
               avdArch);
    }
    std::string systemPath = getAvdSystemPath(avdName, sysDir);
    if (systemPath.empty()) {
        const char* env = getenv("ANDROID_SDK_ROOT");
        if (!env || !env[0]) {
            APANIC("Cannot find AVD system path. Please define "
                   "ANDROID_SDK_ROOT\n");
        } else {
            APANIC("Broken AVD system path. Check your ANDROID_SDK_ROOT "
                   "value [%s]!\n",
                   env);
        }
    }
}

Then if you see emulator: ERROR: can't find SDK installation directory, please check this solution. Android emulator errors with "emulator: ERROR: can't find SDK installation directory"
