 > 1) If I upload an image in WP this will be shown in the library and WP
 builds the defined other formats in the background
 >
 > 2) When I upload an image and add this through "add to server" there is
 just this image there with no other formats.

 > 3) When I upload an image will all formats (original + 3 others) I will
 have shown  4 images in the library instead of just one.

 You can use the [https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/
 Regenerate Thumbnails] plugin to add the missing cropped sizes.

 > Shiftsing everything into plugins (which should be in core) brings the
 next big issue. Every plugin is overloaded with other not needed functions
 and loads a lot more css and js. Also every plugin update is a potentian
 risk of incompatibility.

 I don't think this is the case for Add From Server or Regenerate
 Thumbnails, they both have a very specific purpose and you can remove them
 once they finish the job.
