“I got” would have been fine if the sentence was simply to expand on the point that you had made in the previous sentence, as in “I got x sales from the email campaign”
However this was not the case, you were making a different point and wanted to emphasise that fact. If you had used “I got” then you would have had to precede it with something like “On the other hand”.

“I did get a few rude emails back saying I did get their name wrong” just sounds wrong. I couldn’t tell you why. Sorry.
