So the node who got forced closed on has time to react, the force closer could in theory broadcast the wrong channel state to steal funds from the partner

But if they try, and the node comes back online, they can rebroadcast the "justice" transaction and get all the money in the channel

Couldn't my node just confirm the close and move on?

No they broadcasted a transaction you presigned with a timelock no one can spend that utxo before
