1) It is almost certainly the case that the Pi itself is fine. But the software (OS) on the SD card may have gotten corrupted. Best advice is to get a different SD card, install a new system. Boot the new system, then use the running new system to recover files/data/configs from the old card.
2) The FrequentlyGivenAdvice of "never pull the plug" is largely overblown. Like the OP, I have never had a problem with it. And, in fact, after initial configuration (where a few reboot cycles is the norm), I almost never ever shutdown "normally". This is because I never shut down my systems unless/until they crash. And when that happens, you have no choice other than to pull the plug.
3 That said, there really is no excuse to say that "I don't have a method to shutdown". As the previous poster implied, there is always a command line way to do it.
