I’m not sure about your history lesson, but the “Last Supper” and subsequent Lord’s Supper was the new covenant feast meal to replace the old covenant passover.
The imagery of Christ’s body and blood shed clearly are the antitype to the passover lamb. Christ is the true Lamb of God.
We eat and drink Christ spiritually when we partake of the elements. It is a sacrament of fellowship between Christ and His people (1 Cor. 10:16,17). It is what sets us apart really, spiritually from the world (1 Cor. 10:21).
The early disciples did routinely celebrate the sacrament. It seems a common occurrence with the gathering of believers in the book of Acts. The fellowships mention the “breaking of bread” (communion).

Then how did the disciples on the road to Emmaus know Jesus by the “breaking of bread” if they were not present at the Last Supper? “Breaking of bread” was the name of the common brotherhood rite of the time. They must have participated in the rite with Jesus before the Last Supper in order to recognize His officiating. Just the actions of the disciples present and the practice of the Corinthian church some 25 years after the Last Supper would say that there was not a “sacrament” and conferred no grace on the participants.
The Last Supper was not the Passover meal but the meal the evening before Passover.
