My 2 cents: They are bureaucrats, and what do you think the chances are that they will
1) Admit they were in error and go look for the document the was either lost or destroyed/deleted so it may actually not be subject to be found; or
2) Escalate the issue in the way that only bureaucrats can do, making you responsible for their mistake, perhaps even threatening penalties.
Your reasoning and logic of the issues are impeccable as is your proof. While they may ultimately prevail, a bureaucrat on a bad day can create a lot of misery. After all, what's to prevent them from also (conveniently) losing your reply?
It appears you are stuck between Covid and the IRS, and truly between a rock and a hard place. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
