I discovered that HTTP supports a system of authentication to restrict the readability of an information. Why do most common websites use their own system, with a session, and many stuff to manage this kind of information rather than HTTP authentication?

If anything, it's because http basic auth presents an ugly blocking modal window when asking for credentials, which, among other things, makes it impossible to customize login parameters ("remember me" / "this is a public computer" checkbox, for example. Or captcha).
