Looks like you’re talking about Scrum. Ceremonies and story points aren’t in any way mandated by the Agile manifesto.

There is no "ceremonies" nor "story points" in the Scrum Guide. Perhaps you are referring to "Fake Scrum".

Daily scrum, sprint planning, retrospective and review are ceremonies, and they are totally mentioned in the guide.

The guide also mentions the backlog refinement: “ This is an ongoing activity to add details, such as a description, order, and size.” It’s true that scrum doesn’t directly mention story points but tell me whether story points or t-shirt sizing aren’t the two most common ways to size a story.

Those are "Events", activities to support development work. Unless you mean programming, testing, discussions, code reviews, etc are ceremonies as well?

Borrowing your own words: "...story points aren’t in any way mandated by the..." Scrum Guide.
