You still own the copy of the game; it’s hardly GOG’s fault if you lost or destroyed it.
Expecting to have continued access to re-download indefinitely is like buying a physical book from a brick-and-mortar store, throwing it in the trash, and then expecting to be allowed to swing back by the place later to grab another copy off the shelf.
