why this rewriterule doesn't work:

I think you may be caught by RewriteRule not matching
against query strings. Per the docs:

   What is matched?
       ...
       * If you wish to match against the hostname, port,
         or query string, use a RewriteCond with the
         %{HTTP_HOST}, %{SERVER_PORT}, or %{QUERY_STRING}
         variables respectively.

Source:
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_rewrite.html#what_is_matched

I believe you want to use something like:

   RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^option=login$
   RewriteRule ^/index.php?$   /register       [R=301,L]

It's been a while since I've done this, so I'm not sure
whether the "?" after index.php is matched.  You may need to
adjust that pattern.

I would expect to not want the "?" in the RewriteRule; it should be stripped by the process which breaking things into the path and the query_string. Untested opinion, it has been a while for me too.

And in principle you want to escape the ".": "\."
