Why to give a girl religion education? I have not been able to appoint women to bishops. So education gives intrigue, but can women become bishop or diocese bishop etc.?

Only reason I can see is raising their diplomacy and intrigue. Girls often have high intrigue to start with, so they make great spymasters when they reach adulthood. 
IMO though, you should be able to make women religious rulers (bishop-rank, but not archbishops or Popes). Abbesses often held quite a bit of power and lands.

Church education gives 2 diplomacy points and 1 intrigue points, so church education is good if you have a girl with a knack for diplomacy/intrigue. It's not very useful but at least it adds a choice... perhaps it affects character interaction or something as well.
It also increases the girl's piety.
As for "female bishops", or even abbesses, there have never been female rulers with a scope of power corresponding that of "Prince Bishops" - i.e. lands held by abbesses were never large enough to constitute a county in CK terms.
I suppose there could be an event for old enough, unmarried females with church education to be appointed "abbesses" by their brothers/sons in exchange for money. Such event would perhaps give the appointer some Piety and effectively remove ("kill") the prospective abbess from the game. What does everyone think?

That's actually a rather good idea. Would provide one more option for the daughters of the dynasty.

Appointing women to be abbesses should give you piety just like appointing a diocese bishop - without the possibility of becoming pope of course. Make some of those women useful as well as add a more historical feeling to the game.
