Direct air capture hasn't been proven to work at scale. And the key thing we need to do is to reduce emissions, which is done exactly by incentives like this. Was the €9 ticket perfect? No, but it was a good first shot, now we have data and can improve. Furthermore, as others have stated, this was not even the primary goal of this program.

Your argument is that we should focus on expensive initiatives that don’t reduce carbon emissions as much as alternatives because you like them personally?

    That's ineffective. We should focus on reducing carbon in the atmosphere whichever way is most effective given the limited resources we have. Nothing else matters to prevent/reverse global warming.
