That link is not to the Apple TV remote, it is the iTunes remote. The TV remote is built in to iOS 15 and can’t be deleted. It is not a separate app; it is an icon in the Control Center. If it isn’t there you can add it by going to Settings/Control Center and hitting the “+” next to it.

and now I cant use my remote from the control center


Do you mean iTunes Remote that can control an Apple TV home device?


It wasn't installed by default on my iPhone, but I can see it by going to App Store > Search where I search for "iTunes Remote". I've accidentally deleted (it can be somewhat easy) built-in apps just by contact in my pocket. But usually I can restore those in the App Store.


If you have a hard time with it, try clicking on this link from your iPhone.
