It's the typical stuff amateurs like to shoot, it's fun to shoot this stuff problem is demand from a buyers perspective is not so great and already fullfilled by millions of basically the same photos. You need to do a research what is selling well on microstock-sites and produce accordingly, you need to stop to shoot what is fun and shoot what is in demand (which is often very boring to shoot)

If the photos are ready to upload, I mean good focus, no noise, right WB, etc. it will not cost you a lot to upload.
But do not expect to have great sales with these kind of photos on microstock sites.

thanks for answers and sincerity. It is very hard to accept, but you say right things. Do you have some little advice to improve my shots and composition?

Good picture and good stock picture are not necessarily the same unfortunately - I like this one https://www.flickr.com/photos/96393712@N05/10856462056/ (https://www.flickr.com/photos/96393712@N05/10856462056/)

You will have more sales with Shutterstock, less on iStock. Don't forget perfect keywording!
