PS: I m not using server machine,it s just a client
Here is my code
*****************************************************
{
param (
[String]$Value,
[String]$Field,
[String]$RowLimit = "0",
[String]$Operator = "Contains",
[String]$WebURL = "https://.................../wer",
[String]$ListName = "Main documents",
[String]$ViewName,
[Switch]$Recurse
)
$ScriptDirectory = split-path $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Definition
$dllPath = "P:\SamlCookieAuth.dll" -f $ScriptDirectory
[void][System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFrom($dllPath)
$queryOptionsValue = ''
if ($Recurse)
{
$queryOptionsValue = '<ViewAttributes Scope="RecursiveAll"/>'
}
$WSUri = $WebURL + "/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx?wsdl"
$listsWebServiceReference = New-WebServiceProxy -Uri $WSUri -UseDefaultCredential
$listsWebServiceReference.Url = $webURL + "/_vti_bin/lists.asmx"
[System.Uri]$CookieUri = $WebURL
$listsWebServiceReference.CookieContainer = [ST.SamlCookieAuth.SamlCookieManager]::GetAuthenticatedCookiesContainer($CookieUri.AbsoluteUri, 0, 0)
[System.Xml.XmlDocument]$xmlDoc = New-Object -TypeName System.Xml.XmlDocument
[System.Xml.XmlElement]$queryOptions =$xmlDoc.CreateElement("QueryOptions")
$queryOptions.InnerXml = $queryOptionsValue
if ($PSBoundParameters.Keys.Contains("Value"))
{
[System.Xml.XmlElement]$query = $xmlDoc.CreateElement("Query")
$queryValue = "<Where><$Operator><FieldRef Name='$Field'/><Value Type='Text'>$Value</Value></$Operator></Where>"
$query.InnerXml = $queryValue
$result=$listsWebServiceReference.GetListItems($listName, $viewName, $query, $null, $rowLimit, $queryOptions, $null).data.row
}
else
{
$result=$listsWebServiceReference.GetListItems($listName, $viewName, $null, $null, $rowLimit, $queryOptions, $null).data.row
}
$destDirectory = "\\.............\TER\Main Documents"
foreach ($resul in $result)
{Copy-Item -path $resul -destination $destDirectory }
}

Perhaps the problem that you are having is the result of a conversion issue. You are trying to write content from one SP to another as a document, however, you cannot do so with an XmlElement.
Suggest checking out this post:
Converting system.xml.xmlelement to system.xml.xmldocument with PowerShell
It would be helpful to see the content of "-$result is the list of all documents that I got using web-services, it s type is system.array".
Also, for readability, I would suggest differentiating between $result and $result as follows:
foreach($document in $documentList){}
-or- (at minimum)
foreach($result in $results){}
