I've just played a nice match, and I'd love to store it to view it again. I know I can record videos with Game DVR, but my question is…
Does Destiny provide any option to see (or save) the last game? Just like in theater mode from Halo series, in where you could find some last played games.
Maybe the Xbox One provides something to retrieve something without previously putting it into record mode? (more than 30 secs)

There is currently no inbuilt way to record game-play, in Destiny. The only way to record prior activity is through the Xbox One DVR. That said, you suggest that the Xbox might have a way to capture prior game play, of longer than 30 seconds. In actual fact, the standard DVR system has this mechanic in place.
To increase recording time, access Settings > All Settings > Preferences > Game DVR & streaming. Select the "Record that" records option, and select the time-span. While the default recording time is 30 seconds, you can choose to record anywhere between 15 seconds and 5 minutes. Anything longer, and you will simply have to make multiple recordings, and use video editing software to stitch them together.
To record the last 5 minutes, simply press on the guide button twice1, and hit X. You will return to your game, and the last 5 minutes of game-play will be saved as a recording.
1Pressing the guide button twice brings up the side menu, where you have quick access to things like your friend list, notifications and achievements. With this screen up, pressing Y will save a screenshot in-game, and pressing X will record the last 15 seconds - 5 minutes of game-play, depending on your allotted "Record that" time.
