Not only that. Part 8, 62a in I-485 asks if you are exempt from I-864. I checked that box. They should look at it before sending a RFE about missing I-864.

[I'm no legal expert, but offering inputs based on what I read from USCIS site]
I am exempt because of the 1st exemption rule in the instructions:
The following types of intending immigrants do not need to file Form I-864:
1. Any intending immigrant who has earned or can receive credit for 40 qualifying quarters (credits) of work in the United States. In addition to their own work, intending immigrants may be able to secure credit for work performed by a spouse during marriage and by their parents while the immigrants were under 18 years of age. The Social Security Administration (SSA) can provide information on how to count quarters of work earned or credited and how to provide evidence of such. See the SSA website at https://www.ssa.gov/myaccount/ for more information;
2. Any intending immigrant who will, upon admission, acquire U.S. citizenship under section 320 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), as amended by the Child Citizenship Act of 2000 (CCA);
3. Self-petitioning widows or widowers who have an approved Form I-360, Petition for Amerasian, Widow(er), or Special Immigrant; and
4. Self-petitioning battered spouses and children who have an approved Form I-360F2A, Spouse of LPR. Center NBC. FO Seattle

Totally appreciate your response. Hopefully it helps me find any points that I overloked.
I am exempt because of the 1st exemption rule in the instructions:
The 1st rule applies to me as I have worked for 10 years here and I have more than 40 qualifying credits as per my social security statement. Let me know if I am misreading anything here.

No, we don't have an attorney.
Additionally, this is what it says in Page 12 of I-485 instructions:
General Exemption from Filing Form I-864
If you are an applicant listed below in the Who Must Submit Form I-944 and Form I-864 section and would normally be required to file Form I-864, you may be exempt from filing Form I-864 (but not Form I-944) if:
A. You have earned or can receive credit for 40 quarters (credits) of work in the United States (as defined by the Social Security Act (SSA)), regardless of the immigrant category.

Got another NoA today in my mailbox.
This time against my I-485 application ... says “USCIS is able to use previously captured fingerprints and not necessary to appear at ASC for biometrics appointment”
Hopefully this is good !

shankar382 my status online still shows “we accepted the fingerprint fee for your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status,”
But I did get a NoA in mail saying they have biometrics from past.

Good luck buddy. I did some scan on this topic. If you have given biometrics information in the past, USCIS is obligated to use it (as per the circular sent in March 2020)
