I know it hurts now, but all you lost was that run. FTL isn't a game about building up stats. The only in-game stuff you gain for playing is the unlockables and those will remain unlocked even if your game crashes. What you ARE leveling up - even without knowing it - is yourself. You're slightly better at playing now than you were when you started that run you currently think you'll never do again, and if you keep playing you'll be even better next time.
For most things, getting there is half the fun. In FTL, it IS the fun.

On-topic: One I mixed up my teleporter and Medbay and sent 2 Engis and a Rock into a mantis cruiser. Needless to say I restarted the game (that was all my high-leveled crew).
