Apparently it is actually written in policy that therapists HAVE to document session, it is literally a part of their ethical code of conduct... But why?

Records are used for communication with other clinicians and for the provider to keep track of the treatment(s) they have given.
I don't have much experience with distress lines. I called one once about 20 years ago and found it very uncomfortable discussing my problems with a stranger, so I never used the service again. - Most mental health services I have used were very disappointing.
Records can definitely be inaccurate. Clinicians sometimes get clients mixed up with others or get the totally wrong impression. I read in one discharge summary that I had substance use disorder, which I never ever had. The author also got a few other details wrong. He obviously mixed me up with another patient.
