ich erinnere mich daran, dass.... What's the meaning of 'daran' here? Can I just say "Ich erinnere mich, dass..." ?

"Daran" replaces "an etwas". You can say both, because both "sich an etwas erinnern" (which is then changed to "sich daran erinnern, dass ..." if you need a subclause) and "sich erinnern, dass ..." is possible. There are similar words ("Pronominaladverben") to "daran" an etwas -> daran über etwas -> darüber in etwas -> darin auf etwas -> darauf bei etwas -> dabei and so on.
