Shell "${VARNAME:-DEFAULT}" syntax should let you simplify this down to

  #!/bin/sh
  exec remind "${REMIND_OPTS:-- at 2,2,1}" "$@"

which could even be a shell-function if you prefer

  $ r() { rem "${REMIND_OPTS:-- at 2,2,1}" "$@" ; }
  $ r 2022-3-14
  ... # agenda view with default options
  $ REMIND_OPTS="- at 0 -c+" r
  ... #week calendar, could also be written as:
  $ REMIND_OPTS="- at 0" r -c
  ... #month calendar

Just a few more tweaks from my toolbox :-)
