HEx-LEA.
Few things,
Formatting does not delete data on the SD card. Always retrievable.
You complained. The police intervened. The police can take an undertaking from the Host about formatting the SD card and that the said video is not available on any other media/ cloud. You can get a copy. The police can also ask the Host or you to destroy the SD card (physically) and mention it in the undertaking signed by Host.
About not letting the Host get away, an FIR can never happen as there is no cognizable offence as there is no intention on the part of the Host to record private videos but the purpose is plain surveillance for safety of his property.
Police may keep squeezing the Lawyer but once he approaches a senior officer, the matter will be closed for sure.
The lawyer also knows better to proceed legally since enquiry into a complaint has its limitations as compared to investigation into an FIR.
If you expect a compensation or policy improvement, it would be better to take it up with AirBNB if they do not have a clear policy on the installation of cameras inside properties in common areas. If they do, the living room or the TV room is very much a common area similar to a lobby or to an entrance or a common balcony.
After the Incident and comments that I have read, I just have one question.
What does the OP want?
