Why ? I could buy one certificate which will be used for my CA.

You can't because, as it says above, each certificate is specific to
the hostname of the server where it resides.

Then i would be able to create as many certificates as i want using my CA.

And what would stop you from issuing a "www.microsoft.com" or
"www.amazon.com" certificate and loading malicious code onto people's
computers or stealing their credit card numbers? You cannot just
become a CA by sending $20 to someone.
