Well, than you've painted yourself into a corner.
Basic Requirements:
1) HTML only
2) JS as only programming
3) send (process) form
4) no email app link (new req)
You have requirements that have no solution.
Req 3 and 4 cancel each other out.
There are only 2 methods of emailing someone from a web page:
1) web form, processed via some server-side language
2) email app integration
The later does not give you a standard form, but a free form field,
allay email message.
The former gives you control on what is sent in this message, but then
you need a server with something other than JS.
You're going to have to re-think this.
