i missed it vs i have missed it

Both "I missed it" and "I have missed it" are fine/correct, but they're used in different contexts. "I missed it" is used when referring to a specific point in the past without specifying when. On the other hand, "I have missed it" is used when the action of missing something has a connection to the present or recent past.
