and the consequence - i got around 300 spam mails per day
Although gmail has it own spam filter that filters those spam mails, there were still a lot (around 20%) of spam mails went into my Inbox
So i created my own filter in Settings->Filters, after i've set up these filters, I noticed that there is only at most 1 or 2 spam mails per week in my Inbox, most of them go into trash, which will be purged after 30 days.
Maybe this is just a workaround and not solving the problem from the root, but at least I no need to spend a lot of time deleting spam mails in my Inbox
The following filters are applied to all incoming mail:

These settings are just for my case, you can of course change the setting accordingly to match your need. But I hope this can help you to get some idea while setting up your own spam filter
