I'm shure there is an explantions to this but I can't figure it out.
Is it even possible to downscale to 1080p and get "normal" full BD colors?

Yes, the latest betas of CloneBD (current: version 1.1.7.3) do a really great job at that.
Just start the GUI, click on the disc to open, select MKV and a suitable codec.
If you choose AVC or HEVC 8 bit, color space and HDR will automatically get converted (BT.2020 -> BT.709 and HDR->SDR with proper luminance mapping, not just "tuned up" like some makeshift solutions do).
So you really don't have to worry about anything.
nVidia GTX 10xx is strongly recommended, the conversion is very fast with that.
Otherwise a software/CPU mode is used and that requires a lot of patience.
Give it a go, the free version does all that, but it will blend an icon over the video.
