I noticed that wiktionary has a very small amount of topics in esperanto, just about 2000. infact, Ido has about 75 times more than esperanto. why haven't the same efforts been put into wiktionary as wikipedia?

Because apparently there was no person actually willing to do all that work. Wikis are still people's work.

As long as I remember, huge amount of wiktionary words is imported automatically by bots (that's why in Polish "Wikisłownik" interlingua has over 150k words). Wouldn't it be posiible to import some definitions from lernu, instead of just doing it handly?

I don't know.. There's a lot of controversy those bots create. I'd rather go at it nice an' slowly rather than populate the Esperanto wiktionary or Esperanto-related entries with tons of bot-automated versions. Plus while Ido has tons of entries, in the translation sections of native language dictionaries there are almost no ido translations while their remain quite a few Esperanto translations which is gold for learners.
