Your logs suggest that your /usr/bin/dpkg has been corrupted. There is no easy way to recover from this situation.
If you have another computer of the same architecture and running the same release, you can copy the /usr/bin/dpkg file from one computer to the other. If you don't have this, you can use apt download dpkg to download the dpkg package, use ar x to unpack the dpkg package, and then tar xf the data.tar.* file that was created. Then you can copy the usr/bin/dpkg from that over your /usr/bin/dpkg.
