No.
It is also not mandatory for you to apply for EEA1 or your husband to apply for EEA2 but it is advisable for the non-EU national to hold a residence card (makes it simpler with employers, crossing borders).
do I need any additional supporting docum except from my work...or rather include bank statements, utility bill, tenancy agreement, child nursery proof etc...
You will need to send your passport / national ID card to support your partner application whether or not you are applying for EEA1. You will need to provide marriage certificate and a proof your are exercising treaty rights. No need for bank statements, bills etc. Check the EEA2 form. It is quite clear which documents you need to provide.

If I were you, I would not apply for EEA1 for my child as it won't give any real value.

Thank you.
If i woudl apply for eea 1 and would send just an ID card /hovewer they say if you have entered the UK on pass please send that one/anyway, if I would only send my ID where would they stamp my registration cert. or is it just a letter in my and my daughter's case, but an endorsed stamp in my husbands case?

Where do they say that? You need to provide a valid passport or national ID card (if your country provide one). Doesn't matter which one you used to enter the UK.

For you and your daughter the registration certificate is in a form of a separate document. Nothing is placed in the passport. For your non-EU husband it's either a sticker in the passport or a sticker on a piece of paper (in cases in which the HO doesn't have the passport).
