I should not choose CalDAV but anyway the error says that something is wrong

The error is thrown because event creation failed, which in turn is caused by choosing the wrong calendar type. There's a patch awaiting second-review in bug 355270 which will detect this kind of problem, put the calendar in read-only mode, and toss a message onto the error console. We'll want to do more than that for 1.0, but it's a start.

I can see different error:
Error: [Exception... "'The resource at http://mozilla.kewis.ch/testday-zones.ics is either not DAV or not available
' when calling method: [nsIWebDAVOperationListener::onOperationComplete]"  nsresult: "0x8057001e (NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_STRING)"  location: "<unknown>"  data: no]

Actually I'm unable to use CalDAV protocol because of errors like this:
Error: [Exception... "'The resource at https://cosmo-demo.osafoundation.org/home/myusername/ is a DAV collection but not a CalDAV calendar
' when calling method: [nsIWebDAVOperationListener::onOperationComplete]"  nsresult: "0x8057001e (NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_STRING)"  location: "<unknown>"  data: no]

The errors reported in comment #2 come from improved error reporting provided by the patch in bug 355270. Comments #11 and following in that bug are relevant.

I'm setting this as qa discussion needed. It seem to me that the defect here is allowing the user to create a "CalDAV" calendar using a non-CalDAV URL without throwing an error immediately. We now do throw such an error, as demonstrated in comment #2. I'm inclined to close this bug either FIXED or INVALID, but hesitate to do so since I wrote the relevant patch.

Since the new errors have been put into place, we are marking this as WFM.
