What is the difference between "no need" and "don't need"?

Not even close.
Meaning is often used for the same thing. It is just like describing the weather. You can do it in many ways. If you 'don't need' anything you can say that but If you have 'no need' That's fine to.
I don't need rain means you have no use for it.
I have no need for rain means you rather go without.
Feel the difference? Most don't and use either for the first meaning. 'No need' is a bit archaic in it's use. Almost like saying 'fiddlesticks'.

I AM NO SUPER PRO BUT I'LL TRY.
Let's try to use them in a sentence. Compare this two:
* I don't need a bag because I don't carry much.
*I have no need of this bag because it's all worn out.
Hope you see the difference. Sometimes, these two seem to have no difference at all but when you start using them in a sentence, they'll make sense. Hope you're clarified a bit.

I could say... There is no need for you to call me. And.. I don't need to go shopping today. Do you see the difference?

no need= a simple statement of nothing needed for any reason
don't need= a denial of need whether true or false.

they are not the same because:
no need + don't need= 0
then no + don't = -need-need
therefore +no = 2x(-need)-don't
so +n+o=2x(-n+e+e+d)-d+o+n+t
and +n+o+n-e-e-d= -n+e+e+d-d+o+n+t
so +n= -d+t
result of letter no. +14= -4+20
it means they are not the same,
