Your main problem is you ARE destroying the prefab in you code so the code you have written is working correctly.

To solve your problem you need to store the instance you create with instantiate in a variable and then Destroy THAT eg:-

 private GameObject player;
 
 void Start () {
                player = Instantiate(prefab,new Vector3(spawnCentre.transform.position.x,prefab.transform.position.y,prefab.transform.position.z),Quaternion.identity) as GameObject;
         }

You can then destroy 'player'

         // Update is called once per frame
         void Update () {
                 counter += 1;
                 if(counter==10){
                         counter=0;
                         if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.D))
                 {
  
                         if(prefab.transform.position.x==spawnLeft.transform.position.x)
                         {
                                 Destroy(player);
                                 player = Instantiate(prefab,new Vector3(spawnCentre.transform.position.x,prefab.transform.position.y,prefab.transform.position.z),Quaternion.identity) as GameObject;
                         }

This destroys the instance of your player prefab and not the prefab itself.

NOTE: Everytime you Instantiate from your prefab you should assign it to the player variable for destruction later.
