You should specify a parameter where to put the notes.id parameter, for example:

path('projects/checklist/delete_notes/<int:note_id>/', delete_notes, name='delete_notes'),

Such view however should only be triggered with a POST or DELETE request, not with a GET request: a GET request should only be used to retrieve data, not to alter entities.

So you protect the view with:

from django.views.decorators.http import require_http_methods

@login_required
@require_http_methods(['POST', 'DELETE'])
def delete_notes(request, note_id):
    Note.objects.filter(id=note_id).delete()
    return redirect('teams')

and in the template you should work with a "mini-form":

<form method="post" action="{% url 'delete_notes' notes.id %}">
    {% csrf_token %}
    <button type="submit">Delete</button>
</form>

If you want to redirect to the task_detail of a given task, you can add an extra parameter:

path('projects/checklist/delete_notes/<int:note_id>/<slug:slug>/', delete_notes, name='delete_notes'),

and redirect with:

from django.views.decorators.http import require_http_methods

@login_required
@require_http_methods(['POST', 'DELETE'])
def delete_notes(request, note_id, slug):
    Note.objects.filter(id=note_id).delete()
    return redirect('task_detail', slug=slug)

then in the form you should pass the slug of the task:

<form method="post" action="{% url 'delete_notes' notes.id task.slug %}">
    {% csrf_token %}
    <button type="submit">Delete</button>
</form>
