This is not the first this happens to me, i try to create a giveaway and the game just... don't appear on the list, but when i check on google it can be put in here
https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/XjXqG/why-so-evil

But... i can't, and as i say is not the first game that happens the same to me, i have a few games that i don't want, because i have a spare key that i don't want but i can't put it.

Giving away free games:

From the Guidelines: (paragraph Giveaways)

Beta keys, guest passes, coupons, and free games should not be given away.

Please keep in mind that a free game means any game that has been available for free anywhere and does not refer only to games that are free on Steam directly.

If you want to give away games that you've aquired for free there are sites where you can do that for example the giveaway section on IndieGala.

Depending on what payment options you have availabe (ideally PayPay) the best sources for cheap Steamkeys are buying IndieGala Bundles through GroupBuy, DIG Bundles (2 for 1 if you pay more than the average price) or OtakuMaker Bundles.
If you want cheap & good games the 1$ Tier of Humble Bundles is usually your best bet ;)

The game was given free. This is why you can't giveaway it ;)

If it was free before, you can't create a giveaway of it.

I wonder how many more threads like this we need, to return old feature where game was on the list, but it was marked as unavailable for GA, or even better with reason why its unavailable for GA

I no longer blame new members for those threads. Its annoying to check i different place if game can be given away, and only then start creating giveaway.

And yes i know CG have limited workforce and his priorities but still... We had this feature in SGv1 :(
