Aristotle said that before physics the metaphysics existed.
How can we understand him today ?
]My question:
Does knowledge begin from Newtonian classic physics or
from Planck’s quantum physics ?

Issac Newton is from Cambridge, I do not think there is an academic institution which can beat those minds.

Before Newton. Wasn't it Newton who said (to paraphrase) "I stand on the shoulders of giants"?

Did Newton stand on the shoulders of Planck ?

Of course not. You're being facetious. But I'll say this: humanity's capability of obtaining knowledge has and always will stay the same. Our cleverness in explaining things to ourselves, however, has grown immensely over our short history.

Historically the modern physics began from Newton and
electromagnetics theories and as result we came to conclusion
that the knowledge must be started from quantum’s theories.

Isn’t this our way?

Interesting, this is a logical impossibility, the prefix "Meta", from the Greek, means "after", properly speaking, "Meta" physics, as a topic, means, any and all physical science formulated since the time of Aristotle, since he wrote his "Physics" that described the known world as it was understood at that time. Times change, knowledge expands, ergo.....metaphysics.
