biblical case for confession
Man, that's weak.
Even if the Roman interpretation of that was correct, nothing indicates that confession is binding and must happen at least once per year. So why was this established as canon law in 1215?

I would rather respond to this than the presuppositional word salad above your post, because I know you are at least sincerely curious about your question.
What is required once a year as a bare minimum is to receive the Eucharist during the Easter season.
"You shall receive the sacrament of the Eucharist at least during the Easter season." (CCC 2042).
If a Catholic is conscious of mortal sin, they need to go to Confession before receiving the Eucharist.
Hence it became a common misconception that the Easter duty requires confession at least once a year. But if one is not conscious of any mortal sin, there is no requirement to go to confession.
We call these people CEO Catholics, for Christmas Easter Only. I prefer to call them CINOs, for Catholic In Name Only.
Most practicing Catholics confess as least monthly. I try to go at least every other week, just as a good spiritual habit.

I typically avoid this Catholic vs. Protestant debate as I believe a huge % of Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, Greek Orthodox, etc. are our Christian bothers and sisters. Plus, I do not wish to cause them to doubt their Christianity/ salvation.
However, as I have done some research on the topic I have found that there are easy to understand, objective, non-offensive commentaries on the debate. This guy does a good job of constructing key arguments from the reformed evangelical point of view, if you are interested:
