I thought GMail would scan for all suspecious emails, and according to logical something that arrived into my GMail, with "From: al4321@gmail.com" - my email address, but never sent from my account is spoof.
It means, that GMail isn't protected
As Patrick said, it never went through gmail's servers - there's nothing gmail can do about anyone sending a message and spoofing the "from:" header to say it came from gmail when it didn't. The same is true of every other e-mail provider on the planet. If I send a message using sendmail or postfix from my system here and say it's from Bill Gates using his Microsoft address, Microsoft's mail servers aren't going to stop that from happening because they're not involved in the transfer of the message at all.
