Looks good!
How can i remove the partition using BC assistant

Good!
2. Win10 64 ISO
Which version?
3. how do i run those tests...
In your specific case, given the current state, try
diskutil eraseVolume jhfs+ BC1 disk0s3
diskutil eraseVolume jhfs+ BC2 disk0s4
diskutil mergePartitions jhfs+ BCMP disk0s3 disk0s4
diskutil list
If you see only disk0s3 as the last entry under disk0, then run
diskutil eraseVolume fat32 BOOTCAMP disk0s3
and retry removing the partition using BC Assistant only.

What should I do with this?
As a test, using Disk Utility, create a MSDOS (FAT) Partition (not an APFS volume) of the size you want Windows to be and post the details. If that works, the issue is BC Assistant, not APFS.
macOS Catalina is 'quirky'. 😉
Can you post the output of
diskutil list
from macOS Terminal. You seem to have a Bootcamp partition, and an OSXRESERVED partition. BCA did partition the disk, but the installer did not start. We should find out why.
Okay, here it is.

These two should not exist, when partitioning starts, otherwise it will fail.
After I finished the Step 1, this was the diskutil list:
/dev/disk0 (internal, physical):

I shouldn't proceed with step 2?

This looks fine.

Yes, you can proceed with step 2.

How can i remove the partition using BC assistant
You should abort it. It is not good to manipulate partitions under BCA or DU manually. Once it has stopped, you need to run etc Remove/Restore step and verify that all your disk space is back in the APFS container, before you attempt to re-install Windows.

BC = Bootcamp. Did the Bootcamp drivers install properly? Does your Apple-specific hardware work properly?
