DerMeister, check your opening and closing brackets.
[HUNTS_VERMIN]  [  [RETRACT_INTO_BP:BY_CATEGORY:UPPERBODY:roll into a ball:rolls into a ball:unroll:unrolls]  ]
   [LARGE_PREDATOR]   OPPOSED_TO_LIFE]

What in the beard-heaven is.... [SENSE_CREATURE_CLASS:15:4:0:1] ??

Yeah, it should be something like [SENSE_CREATURE_CLASS:GENERAL_POISON:15:4:0:1] - the creature class has to actually be there. The missing brackets could be causing issues too.

Also, just for reference - you do actually have a separate entity file for their civ, right? Trying to make sure if something else isn't missing.

Opposed to life creatures can be member of civ? When I embark as this civ, fortress was lost from start because no members and livestock.

you created three castes, only one of which is intelligent, and it is extremely rare compared to the other two. It's almost certain all seven of your starting critters were of the unintelligent castes, which count as livestock, not people, and livestock cant keep a fort going. You should rethink how you want the castes to work, for instance you could make the intelligent caste dominant numerically and the other two pets, so you can buy them on embark.

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

Only one is pet caste. One caste is fully intelligent, second is can learn and can speak, third is no learn and no speak, only utterances, so only third is fully pet.

[INTELLIGENT] is the same as [CAN_LEARN]+[CAN_SPEAK], there isn't any difference. Utterances is only responsible for kobold names.
Still, you do have the unintelligent caste as the most common one and I also think that creatures with opposed to life get shoved into the "other" category in fort mode's unit list. So both could be the issue, really.

When inteligence, goblins not make items from this creature, when just can learn and can speak, goblins make. I test without opposed to life, remake civ and this work, embark with 5 pet caste, one from normal caste and one from intelligent.

If not add relegion, but add divine mat and spheres, civ will use their sphere mat or another mats?

Maybe a workshop that gives a transform syndrome: a regular caste into the rare queen caste. Then the workshop self-destructs, and by some mechanism player can't make another of the said workshop.

Let's say I want a civ to die out in worldgen. What would be the best way currently?

Orientation, make everyone gay, so no children are ever born?

Would setting max age to 1 make them die before having children? What about litter size 0? Would that do anything?

Oh, no, they should be perfectly playable. I just don't want migrants. ;)

You could create a "fake" civ of small, weak creatures (let's call them, "knockers"), with all the nobility and reactions and stuff you desire. Those weak creatures must live short lifespans, be monogendered and extremly hostile (with ITEM_THIEF and BABYSNATCHER in the entity), so they'll surely die in worldgen.

Then, with DFhack, you kill those creatures on embark and spawn seven (or more) creatures of the race you want. I don't know if you can copy the skills from the killed ones, but that's a minor problem.

No migrants will come.

Are the first two waves of migration no longer hardcoded?
