I understand what solutions you have suggested and I appreciate that.
However, I want something more sustainable. If MATE can remember, and even
GNOME remembers that in Fedora, then why not GNOME in Debian, which is the
best?

Redshift has a brightness adjustment setting, but it does not work the 
way most people might expect. In fact it is a *fake brightness 
adjustment* obtained by manipulating the gamma ramps, which means that it 
does not reduce the backlight of the screen.

You could try redshift. It is independent from desktop environment.
 
Just one line in your startup script will do the job.

I did it after restart. It works in MATE environment, but not in GNOME. I
don't know why! :/

I think that should be handled by the systemd-backlight service. At
least that's where I would start looking.

I guess GNOME could remember and set the brightness but it would only
happen once you log in, not during boot.

I normally dim my laptop's screen, as I work long. However, I don't
understand why I have to dim it every time when the laptop restarts.
Doesn't GNOME remembers what brightness I used last time?
Need a way out !
