As it is stated by the name, its resets some CSS declarations
Trying to modify default theme it seems that this file may be doing to much
While many things are essential to the default theme, they otherwise interfere with some declarations in schema.css for the theme itself.
Should it be then just be part of the theme declaration instead of general case?

Serge D, I, as many others, prefer to start with a clean slate and then build it back up. You are more than free to replicate default to create your own theme without the reset.

FYI, organize.css has been removed:

Just took at look at G3's default home page with yslow. It's not really that "heavy". A non-cached page with 4 thumbs is about 190K and the CSS is only making up 17.7K of that.

I did not say it is slow.
I said that reset redefines too match.
My original question states that I wanted to know the reason of splitting screen.css and reset-fonts-grids.css.
Second helps first, but being defined on global level interferes with custom themes until reference is removed

Serge D, I now understand your point more clearly. Use of reset here, however, is only an issue if you're editing the default theme. It shouldn't be an issue if you copy the default theme or create an entirely new one from scratch. In each case, just remove the link to the reset style sheet in your theme's page.html.php template.

I realize that this requires a fair amount of work on your part to style certain elements in your theme. I'm sure others will appreciate your efforts if you choose to share the results.
