I expect all these steps pass.
I use stylesheet_link_tag and javascript_include_tag

Plugin assets must be placed in the redmine_root/plugins/my_plugin/assets folder. And just like with Redmine 1.x, they are copied to redmine_root/public/plugin_assets/my_plugin on startup. In 2.0, there's a also rake task redmine:plugins:assets to do that manually.

And just like with Redmine 1.x, you have to use the :plugin option to load a plugin stylesheet or javascript, eg.
stylesheet_link_tag 'example', :plugin => 'sample_plugin'
Please have a look at the sample plugin in extra/sample_plugin.
But why do I need to include plugin option? There is no need to do that in Rails 3 engines. And why do I need to copy them?
Is it only technical reason or by design?

This is how it worked with Redmine 1.x plugins: Plugin_Tutorial (although the tutorial may need slight updates). But feel free to experiment a Redmine plugin that would use Rails 3 engines.
And why do I need to copy them? Is it only technical reason or by design?
The asset pipeline is not enabled, so assets must be copied into the public folder. Note that you don't have to do it manually, they are copied on startup just like with Redmine 1.x.

Oh, so the asset pipeline is not enabled.
Thanks for your answers.
