I'm not sure how apt-get dist-upgrade could lead to removal of so many
packages. Anyway, what's happening is that the system is refusing to
remove the running kernel, which is good.

What I suggest you do is apt-get install -f like the system
suggested. Next,
apt-get install linux-image-3.16.0-4-amd64 initramfs-tools udev
That should mark the kernel, udev, and initramfs-tools
as manually installed, and prevent them from being automatically
removed. Next, you'll probably want to apt-get install whatever was
removed even though you wanted to keep it, such as the xorg
stuff. Good luck.
