Then why do not we use this unicodesymbol file to do this?
Something like

This is not possible. The unicodesymbols file is made to translate
single characters to a command. As I said, the characters must be
taken as they are and not translated.
Using a \usepackage for every character is of not possible - a
package should only be loaded once.
What you mean is what we currently do in the languages file. Here
we can load a certain package or define a language changing command.
But Greek is already well supported. All you need to do is to mark
the characters as Greek in LyX, see the attached example LyX-file.
When your document language is Greek, you of course don't need to
do this.
So LyX is in my opinion working correctly. The problem is that the
users choose sometimes Greek characters as math characters and not
the math ones. I don't know why because e.g. Windows' character
table program and Word offer the correct ones.
But take your document and change the language encoding to utf8
(which might be desirable for other reasons). Then typesetting (with
pdflatex) gives you many "Package inputenc Error: Unicode char \u8:
not set up for use with LaTeX" errors.
