Logan, the only thing you got was extremely lucky. They screwed up on the paperwork, and they let you off. You got denied on everything else, and if the paperwork had been right you would have been in a whole lot of trouble.

This is the critical part, that you seem to want to ignore. They can refile, any time, and then you will be back where you were, except this time you will get to go to trial. You may get lucky and they may decide it is more trouble than it is worth to refile, but if you ticked someone off, they may just do it for the fun of it. No victory, just plain dumb luck.
