All are OK. #3 is a bit more informal.

Then could you tell me why only 'in this morning' is not acceptable? Logically, I can't understand why the structure, 'in + this + morning' is wrong...

There is no logic to it; it is the language.

'In the morning' but 'this morning'; 'in the afternoon' but 'at night'.
