Why is typeof === 'function' considered to be an object? A function is not an object, isn't it? "new myFunc()" will become an object, yes, but a plain function?

No, every function is an object in Javascript, regardless of how it was created. You can set properties on them (unless they are frozen), they are instanceof Object, two identical function literals are not strictly equal, they are passed by reference, etc.
