In short, now that I have reinstalled the latest version maemo 5 20.2010.36-2, I had in mind to put back the CSSU, but my phone keeps saying to usb link the device to my PC with nokia PC suit to continue the installation, which I don't understand...

Can you help me, please ?
Next time: if you still have SSH access (including root) to the device, it's possible to just use John the Ripper to find out your lock code. Might be less work than reflashing, especially as re-flashing won't clear your lock code afaik.

Of course, this is information which would have been more useful to you earlier today... but I'm guessing you still don't know your lock code, so it's still valuable.
