I am curious if EGR system is a threat to the performance. I know that it is intended for reduction in oxigen nitrate release by diverting some of the exhaust gases back into intake when rpms reach 2000 or so. I am thinking that by so doing some oxigen and nitrogen depleted air flows into the intake but that volume could be used by air from outside and therefore delivering better burning mixture. Am I right or wrong here? Will cutting off EGR system improve performance? I understand about more pollution but I am not asking about that. The question is strictly performance related.

The gains from removing/disabling the EGR system is minimal. Since the EGR is disabled at WOT anyway, it's more of hassle than it is worth it.

If you disable it, you'd probably want to richen the air/fuel mixture from 1000-3000 rpm (range that the EGR is functional) to offset the increased combustion temperatures that occur when the EGR is no longer working. This means you'd have to get an AFPR, A'PEXi AFC, or some other type of fuel controller.
