After Kd1 Bc5 the move Nf2+ is a threat.
After Kd2 Bc5 Nf2 is not a problem.

Kf1 is a possible alternative.
I do not know what is the best move.

Some analysis of Movei at depth 12(p850,64 Mbytes hash tables):

12 37 98174 145082772 e1f1 f2b6 c3d1 d8d6 b2b4 b6d4 c4c5 d6e7 f3d4 e5d4 c1b2
e7e5 f1g1
12 38 126570 187368872 e1d1

still calculates iteration 12

developing the king to d3 helps to free the bishop at c1.
