well it depends, how long did you let it ferment?
your problem was likely not the length of fermentation, nor the temps, but that you likely under-pitched. it's purported that about half the cells die from shock when pitching directly onto the wort.
also, i think these hybrid styles can still benefit from a bit of lagering time to get them to that crisp flavor profile. did you do any lagering?
if you're worried about harvesting the kolsch yeast, just plan your brew days/packaging days accordingly and repitch on top of the yeast right after you've kegged/bottled it.
why didn't you rehydrate the yeast though? not trying to bash you, since i don't know you at all. but it's best practices to do that, it takes practically no effort at all to do it. you just need to be sanitary about it. if you wanna start making good beer, you really need to take the extra time do follow the best practices for each step. if you were just too lazy to rehydrate, you either need to kick your own ass and stop being lazy, or just come to the realization that you're going to be able to make average beer at best, and will likely have off batches fairly often (like this one for instance).
