Why would you expect the desktop to behave properly if you do something
retarded like delete the desktop folder?  If you want to shoot yourself
in the foot, feel free, but don't expect the software to take care of you.

Um, yeah... if you're going to go and delete files, you're probably not
going to be able to find them again.  Common sense, no?

At any rate, you didn't touch ~/desktop/, did you?  Your files should
still be there.  The only thing I asked you to delete was the symlink,
not any files.
