There are two separate things involved here. The Default Applications
setting should just determine what application is opened when clicking on a
calendar link. I'm afraid I don't know how you'd go about getting your
version of Thunderbird recognized here.

The gnome-shell calendar dropdown will fetch calendar info from any
supported accounts you've configured in gnome-online-accounts. So if you're
using google (gmail) for your calendar, set up your account in the Online
Accounts settings tool, and be sure that the Calendar option is toggled
"on". I believe this does use the evolution-data-server library, but it
does not require the full evolution application to be installed.
