So if I look like celebrity, can I sue them for copyright infringement? Or I will get sued back?

Or if I get tattoo wit logo, is that "my own feature" and now I have copyright?!

This is like giving copyright to a name, there will be collisions and conflicts.

You're taking a very ethnocentric view towards this. Most European cultures don't have the same legal culture that the US has.

Punitive damages are very rare or non-existent depending on the country and the loser of the case usually has to pay the winning party's legal fees. There just isn't the incentive to sue someone over something silly like what you've mentioned.

Do you trust big business and the increasingly authoritarian nature of modern politics not to abuse the law as far as they can?

I sure as hell don't.

That is how every law works. There's people specialized in handling collisions and conflicts.

It's also why the idea that "code is law" popular in certain circles was always misguided.

I don't think the law's aiming to copyright your existence like a trademark, but more to stop people from digitally cloning you without consent
