If you didn't have a filter mounted, that damage would have been done to the front end of the lens. I'd sooner have issue taking a broken filter off, than never being able to get one back on, or worse!!

A lens hood would have absorbed the impact, the lens would not have been damaged.  I have firsthand experience with this.
