What about Δεν θυμάμαι τι έκανα? It is wrong because of the purpose of this exercise or the meaning is different

It an instance where the difference in meaning is slight but important given the exercise. It's the difference between the English sentences: I don't remember what I did. (Δεν θυμάμαι τι έκανα.) And I don't remember what I have done. (Δεν θυμάμαι τι έχω κάνει.)
Because it's "what I have done", not "what I do".
Or if you were expecting τι έχω κάνω: because it's "what I have done", not "what I have do".
With έχω as a helping verb to form the perfect, you need the απαρέμφατο form of the meaning verb, which looks like the third person singular (he/she/it) aorist subjunctive (the form used after να or θα). "He will do" is θα κάνει and so κάνει is the form you use in perfect and pluperfect statements.
That would mean " I don't remember that I have done" unless you mean ό,τι in which case it would mean "I don't remember whatever I have done".
That would mean "whatever" rather than simply "what".
