But why push a valid unconfirmed tx that shall not be accepted into any valid block ever?
It shall.
For example the transaction
https://tradeblock.com/bitcoin/tx/2fb06fec2d549f1d05158f4a7a0812b50e7bb7cadf1697584e194ba01397886d
was discovered on the network 8 Oct 2015 and confirmed 25 oct 2016
It was pushed by somebody over and over until confirmation succeded.
And there are a lot of such transactions

Ok. I'm pretty surprised that a miner would mine that type of tx today.

In the future, those dust amounts would in theory be worth more, so they will become
common again as time goes on, but currently that is a lot of data added to the blockchain
for just $0.58 USD. The mining cost to add that tx to the chain must have been at least $1.28 USD.

But I guess you are correct, there are some re-broadcasts that are "neutral".
