Why we assume that the magnitude of gravitational accelaration is constant (9,8 m/s2) although it is not in reality?

It is.
if we cnsider air resistyance it makes it miserable to calculate basic computations like height
On the surface of the earth its variation is minimal and is assumed to be constant for ease of calculation. As suggested by the eqn: g=GM/R^2 It varies inversely to the square of the distance from centre of the earth. But when you are dealing with airplanes and rockets this variation is taken into account.
ya you are correct it always varies with height, altitude , longitude ,but for our simplicity we we don't take in comparison as masses we consider are very small as compared to earth.
