I would complain to the US DOT
Do a search for posts by Butterfingers on here.. he works for them and is able to explain how to make a complaint. It is disgusting and Delta seems to be worse than average. I once got stranded by Delta in Atlanta after a very similar situation, on a flight from Charlotte,NC. Fortunately, British Airways came to my aid, and I have never flown Delta again, and that was over 12 years ago. They are disgusting and simply do not care. They have a virtual monopoly at Atlanta, are protected from normal competition and don't care about their customers. You wasting your time pursuing them... far better to go to the DOT and complain. If the delay to your original flight was due to weight and balancing issues they have an obligation to accommodate you. I would have booked a hotel and then sought compensation from them for the hotel via the DOT. Perhaps a little late for that now.
