As I said, the "opportunity" is there. I wonder if you're not operating under the misunderstanding that homeschooled children are educated exclusively by their parents; that is certainly not the case.
Valium for children.

Private or homeschool?
Well homeschooled kids would get isolated (more or less) from other kids.

That is a myth. Homeschooled children have many opportunities for socializing with other kids and they, by and large, take advantage of these opportunities.

Well that would meant that their social development would depend on their parents and not on themselfs...

Up to a certain age, say 10, yes. Are you saying that children under the age of 10 are better judges of how best to develop their social skills? Personally, I would rather my children learn social skills from someone who has them.

BTW i can see the benefits of the homeschooling but im not sure that (all) parents can be trusted with so important thing. If anything goes wrong the child would be virtually destroyed and useless in society.

Absolutely, but I think we already have far more "destroyed" adults due to public education than we'll ever probably have from a homeschool environment.
