Due to chrome security settings, to make an XMLHttpRequest you need a valid origin and a valid destination.
The destination is a valid domain, and because you have Access-Control-Allow-Origin enabled, you can make a request from different origin.
But the origin is not a valid domain, because you are doing a request from a local page.
The origin must be a valid host/identifier (domain for a website, identifier for a browser extension, application id for a webview embedded into an application).

You have these option to solve the issue:

• Store your page on an host, that's fine localhost too, you can create a setup to automatically deploy the host and webpage to your customers

• disable browser security settings: sample for chrome:

  chromium-browser --disable-web-security --user-data-dir
