It is not clear to me why we need SVGEvent interface at all.
Could we remove it?

Ping.

I'd like to avoid implementing useless events in Webidl.

The SVGEvent interface exists in SVG 1.0:

  http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG10/idl.html
  http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG10/script.html

but no longer exists in SVG 1.1:

  http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/idl.html
  http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/script.html

Seems like it can just go away. (Note the message types SVGLoad, SVGUnload, SVGAbort, SVGError, SVGResize and SVGScroll still exist, but we don't need the SVGEvent interface for them.)
