James 2:4 refers to Leviticus 19:15 and is the central objection the entire chapter chides the letters recipients over. it is reiterated in verse 9.
James 2:8 gives the command he says they should be keeping, and refers to the authority of Christ ((Who called it alone "My commandment" in John 15:12)) by calling it "royal" - which is written in Leviticus 19:34.
James 2:11 is merely parenthetical, not the scope of his argument. he gives two of the decalogue as example that God Who gave one commandment in the Law gave the whole Law.
James 2:12 wraps up his rebuke saying not that they are judged by the decalogue but by "the law of liberty" which is an implicit reference to the new covenant as explained in Romans 7 — they are not under the law, but grace, and should therefore walk righteously.
the specific thing he rebukes them over is partiality in judgement. this is not the 10 Commandments. it is in that context he says stumbling in any part of the law makes one guilty of the whole law.
so i think you are intellectually dishonest to claim this is only about the decalogue and even more dishonest to claim the rest of the Law doesn't matter.

The Royal Law is the greatest commandments....as shown in context...
James 2:8 If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing right.
The Royal Law sums up the Law of Liberty - i.e. Ten but the summary does not delete the details. 1 John 5:2-3 Romans 13:8
