The circumcision requirement was for the temple.
When the temple was destroyed, the relevance of circumcision became a tradition, rather than a need under Torah.
The renewed covenant has no requirement for circumcision of the flesh. Paul explained that several times.He spoke of “circumcision of the heart” being equivalent.

The circumcision requirement was for the temple. Circumcision was given BEFORE the Law. it was merely reiterated there.
So you're wrong again......
