TLDR : Answer Summary
The missing arrival stamp on your departure card is not a serious issue. The important stamp is in your passport, and it is common for this to happen. It's a good reminder to always check your stamps as soon as you receive your passport back from immigration.

it happens many times, but the stamp in your passport is the important one, the one the departure card is not important, so nothing to worry about.

Lesson to be learned: Check the stamps when you receive the passport back, Immigration Officers are human beings and like us, they do make mistakes.
