I would like to set all document properties programmatically inside the event handler. I do not manage to skip an edit form after the document is uploaded. Any help is welcome.

Take a look at this article http://hristopavlov.wordpress.com/2008/04/30/editformaspx-not-shown-when-uploading-a-document/

There is a matter of at which point in the event handling the document properties should or can be updated. This post explains the various Events and their variations ('-ing', '-ed', etc) - not all properties are available during the synch/asynch event handling - Managing ItemUpdating and ItemUpdated Events..

An alternative, is to use PowerShell for document upload. Paul Childs has a PowerShell example that can provide a solution - Bulk upload files with metadata into SharePoint using PowerShell: UPDATE
