You asked for a new file system to be created over the top of your
existing one.
>From the man page:
-c Check the device for bad blocks before creating the file
system.
The -c option just adds an extra check while doing the mkfs. As you
found.
Unfortunately you've written over all the inodes, so although your
data is still on the disc, the orgnisation of that data (how the disc
blocks are organised into files) is totally lost.
I suggest you restore from your most recent backup.
