Before, I had nothing to do except click on Send to my device (Kobo). The ePub was converted on the fly, no trace of it on my Mac mini M1.

So, why does Calibre asks me which format I want to send? In the settings, it is specified that I want kePub.

And why does Calibre save the kePub on my computer?

I've been looking all over the settings, and I can't see why. I think it started to happen since the last kePub Output plugin update. Not sure.
I can think of two reasons for this. And I think you might have both.

Firstly, calibre is doing a conversion to kepub, not using the KoboTouchExtended driver to send the book to the device. Either, the KoboTouchExtended driver has been uninstalled, or it has been disabled. In either case, the built-in KoboTouch driver is being used. You can check the state of the driver in the Plugins page of the preferences.

You might have changed the default send-to-device action to the "Send specific format" instead of "Send to main memory". You can change this by right-clicking (or the Mac equivalent) the "Send to device" button, clicking the "Set default send to device action" and choosing "Send to main memory".
