It's not possible to delete that built-in app/icon using iOS 15 or later.

That said, it might have been accidentally moved to a different screen page or into a folder (check carefully), or serach for it in your App Library (generally it is into "Utility" folder) and drag the icon to your home screen.

or

Check: Settings>ScreenTime>Content&Privacy Resctrictions>iTunes&AppStore Purchases... the first 3 options MUST be set to "Allow".
