you cant have all that informations via the Graph API I think. For example the birthday dates of my friends, I cant have them via the API

  Yeah, you can. You can get alot out of the Graph API. https://graph.facebook.com/me/friends?fields=birthday&access_token=[...]

  I think this is where fbcmd [ http://fbcmd.dtompkins.com/ http://fbcmd.dtompkins.com/ ] enters. It can do some fancy things scraping has trouble doing. I extracted tel numbers and other info from friends in tidy CSV, downloaded all the photos I was in and more.
