So, why can´t i overwrite it with an “custom” coreboot?
There is a Linux Image available especially for this model (Trogdor):

all Chromebooks since ~2012 ship with coreboot-based firmware from Google. You absolutely can overwrite it with a custom build. There just doesn’t exist a custom build for your device, and building one that boots Linux vs ChromeOS is not a trivial task.

Thanks a lot for your Answer just in time - do you think there will be a solution from you for arm devices in Future like for intel and amd Chromebooks?

booting on ARM is completely different than x86, there is no general purpose firmware bootloader that we can just throw on and give the ability to boot Linux.
