Hello, I need to make button NEW on my main navigation and link to all categories to show my latest products? Is it possible and how?

You can use some a simple trick for this :
Add a blank article and disable all (title, author ....)
- use the virtuemart products module and select "latest product" and set to number of latest product to display.
Another solution, is to use an external link, with the right ordering set, if you need the full list or your product with pagination.

Okay, I want to use external link no, but how to make this link? The variant with module is not solution for me.

without sef active : YOURSITE.COM/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=category&orderby=created_on
or with sef YOURSITE.COM/maincategory/?orderby=created_on maincategory is menu link to category without any category selected, this can be hidden(do not set module fior the menu)

After this step add a link in your main menu using the right solution.
Do not forget to activate in VM config > Product Order Settings >Available Sort-by fields "Creation Date" or VM prevent using this ordeing
