All your matches were imperfect according to this tool, just like mine.
Imperfect just means you did not provide FGS information. Get an FTDNA FGS test and that imperfect will go away. 23andme data just provides whatever SNPs were chosen which may or may not include your haplogroup determining mutations.

I tought it was only the case for those written as untested.

Exactly! Untested means the data you provided doesn't have any results for those loci which also happen to be haplogroup defining mutations. This is why getting an FGS is so important, so there are no loci untested or reported incorrectly.
23andme mtDNA has a very high error rate with just blatantly wrong values. In my case my 23andme data incorrectly stats I have 16304G. Also any polymorphisms are not reported correctly with 23andme.
Below is the known list of bad 23andme results but there are certainly are more for individual results:
From Dr. Ann Turner:
These are the false positives that I've encountered when people send me their raw data for analysis. James Lick won't report these with his utility (mthap).

yeah but i have a lot of Imperfect Match(even for my predicted haplogroup on 23andme), what does that mean ? that my mtdna is pretty unique ?

See my modified post above for some gory details. In a nutshell 23andme data has a very high error rate! 23andme has a good product at a great price, but you get what you pay for. 23andme mtDNA data has a high error rate which they will not talk about but will disclose error rates if you ask. Of course 23andme will not call or admit to the error rate being "high".

Mine now says (using Fasta from FGS): U5b1b1(T16192C), the two matches on file is from Italy and Algeria (Berber)...

Women have been exposed to contradictory, dissonant messages and practises, filled with false expectations and aspirations. This has rendered them vulnerable and receptive to an ideology that simplifies reality and promises escape from role conflict and ambiguity
