You don’t need the bar to remove the background. Many features in Photoshop are provided in multiple places, and you can show or hide any panel using the Window menu.
So, if you mean the new floating Contextual Task Bar, if it’s hidden you can choose Window > Contextual Task Bar.
Also, even if the Contextual Task Bar is hidden, the Remove Background button is also available on the Properties panel when an eligible layer is selected.

…or how the hell do you do remove background now?
The Remove Background button isn’t the only way to do it. It’s an easy one-click shortcut that was recently added. In the three decades before the Remove Background button existed, Photoshop users routinely removed the background using different multi-step manual techniques. Today, the Remove Background button is super convenient, but even though we have it, some people still prefer to use the manual techniques to remove trickier backgrounds. So if the Remove Background button didn’t exist, there would still be many ways to remove a background. For example, choose Select > Subject and invert the selection, or go into Select > Select and Mask and use the advanced selection tools to manually remove the background.
