   What does the couldfree imply?

It means that, at some point, a page of malloc() items was completely
empty, and the bucket had more than the high water mark of free objects.
In English, it means that an opportunity was missed to free a page of
memory.

However, the number never decreases, so it's only relevant in
combination with the other statistics.

   Is this the way it ought to be?

None of the data you showed seemed strange to me.
