Question

Should I file an amended return if I accidentally took a credit for not receiving the $1400 stimulus check?

If you have already filed your tax return, the IRS knows the amount of stimulus payment that was sent to you.  They will adjust your tax return accordingly by removing the Recovery Rebate Credit.  If you still are owed a tax refund this may delay the refund by several weeks, maybe longer.

You do not have to amend the 2021 tax return.
