There is no reason an honest person should ever feel guilty about
their choices, regardless of the outcome of such choices. Doing the
best you can with what you had at the time means acting honestly,
leading to growth.
Doesnt stop the consequence of your action, but sure as hell takes the
sting away.
We put a break on growth if we associate such growth with pain, and
that becomes extremely painful, akin to being allergic to water.

But it is likely that guilt is one of the many parts of human nature,
maybe some part of it is hardwired in and is adjusted by the local
environment. What place does it have, what good use would it be to
social groups?

This also means never having to say sorry.
When we act we act in the best interests and with the best possible
information at the time. If things don't go right , then so what?
If you stick to being honest then you can't make any deliberate
mistakes. So why say sorry? If your accidents were non intentional
then you are not guilty. If you apologize you are admitting
culpability. But if no intended harm was done sorry in not
appropriate, and regret useless.
I regret nothing. It is a useless emotion.

In _Without Guilt and Justice_, Walter Kaufmann lays out his
explanation for guilt: guilt is the result of expected punishment
that is not forthcoming.
