Recently, my SD card which I used for Wii U got partially corrupted. Homebrew launcher kept making my Wii U freeze. I thankfully managed to back-up nearly all of the data. However, after I transferred all the back-uped data to a new SD card, the homebrew launcher still crashes. What I mean by that is when I try to open *anything* in the homebrew launcher, Wii U just freezes. I tried replacing many various files with files downloaded from the internet (e.g. the homebrew launcher, Aroma and Tiramisu files) but nothing worked. How can I fix this problem?
Note that I have both Aroma and Tiramisu on my Wii U.

Do you have sigpatch file for both Aroma & Tiramisu? If you already have it, try replacing it.
TBH, it sounds like the data corrupted when you transfered the back up to a new sd card.
I tried replacing these, and now when I launch Wii U it says that payload.elf couldn't be loaded, which I'm guessing means that the files somehow got corrupted already :/
Is it maybe possible to re-install homebrew on my Wii U without losing my games and save data for them?

Most of the times when that happened it's to do with the sd card. You could try reformatting it and redo everything again or use a different card. The saves data are where the game installed so either the nand or external drive. The console is already modded, it just couldn't read the data from the sd card.

Personally I would try a new sd card (or reformat the old one again) and download flesh Aroma/Tiramisu files to the sd card. If that still doesn't work then it could be the issue with the card slot itself.

I managed to fix it (at least temporarily), by opening Homebrew Launcher installer as a payload and then opening the exploit and opening the payload, as someone suggested me to do this
This SD card is new btw, I literally bought it a few weeks ago xd
