I just need create all new collections with slightly modified names.
On my old Paperwhite option Add to Downloaded appears on tap on cloud collection name but on my new Oasis this option is missing.

What do things look like with one of the Kindle apps?
I assume you created most of these using Manage Content & Devices? If you had created them on Oasis, you probably would have noticed issues long before creating 470 collections.
Also I have had Kindles take an hour or so before collection sync completed, and I only have a handful of them (but 4000+ books).
I do not know if anyone here can tell you what the practical limit is on the number of collections you can create. But even in best case, I see little benefit to having more than a handful of them.
Kindles are weak when it comes to organizing options. Ideally they would pay attention to metadata other than title/author, for genre, series, description etc. You really have to outsource this to a tool like calibre.
'Download collection' was earlier term for Favorite (I think this was before there were Collection options): it meant collections would show in Library listing along with books.
