Gravity does not shrink an orbit, if an object has enough speed so that it's falling arc is shallower than the earth's curvature it will remain in orbit untill an outside force interacts with it and slows it's speed.
The Moon is not being pulled closer to the earth, that is rubbish, It is outside the atmosphere and therefore is not being slowed down and the tidal forces of the earth are actually propelling it and causing it to move further away.
As Shepards body comes into contact with the atmosphere his body would actually slow down due to the increased resistance and would only fall at terminal velocity with isn't actually that fast, a man managed to fall from 33,000 feet without a parachute and actually survived the fall.
Considering Shepard is wearing armor that protects from extreme heat and radiation, as well as kinetic barriers that protect from projectiles accelerated to a fraction of the speed of light and the fact he wasn't even alive when he hit the surface, all his armor had to do was keep his body intact.
There is no proof Shepard's armour shattered when it hit the floor, just because Liara and Legion have seperate parts doesn't mean it wasn't cut apart to remove Shepards body from it.
Also we have seen that Cerberus created a Shepard clone to use for spare parts, due to technological advances it would be possible to reconstruct Shepards body from just a fragment of it, even just a severed head so long as they had his DNA, We all know his head survived impact as Miranda tells us and the N7 helmet is found intact.
With a budget of several billion credits I don't think it would be too hard to rebuild him from whatever survived.
Yeah, we went through the whole orbit thing already.
You could drop 1 million people from space and 999,999 thousand of their bodies will probably be destoryed beyond repair and yeah maybe 1 of those people will fall just right where their body survives intact. Of course, this is all theoretical because this experiment has never been performed but pretending like what we saw in the game was the most believable outcome is silly. Just like sure I am sure someone has survived 2 bullets to the face before but doesn't make it any less ridiculous if Shep does it as part of a cut scene.
As to your other points, Shep's armor is not built to withstand all types of extreme heat. There are points in the game with vents, fires, or lava where you can't just stand up in them because it is obviously too hot. In addition, as I said, I believe there is still internal concussive force because your internal organs get slammed against your body if you were to fall from such a height. Your brain for example would get slammed against your skull and you brain is one of the softest organs while your skull is one of the hardest bones.
There is no proof Liara or anyone cut the armor off. It is pretty absurd to cut the armor off on Alchera and expose his body to the atmosphere there which is not like Earth. It is full of methane and could have all sorts of microorganisms that you don't want contaminating the body.
And they created clone Shep for spare body parts but Clone Shep has all his body parts so they clearly did not use him. Let me guess they used another clone Shep but just didn't tell us? As for the DNA bit, are we suppose to believe that Clone Shep has no memeries of being Shep but that if they rebuilt Shep from just his head that magically his brain which is one of the softest organs in the body sustained absolutely no damage when it slammed against his skull when he fell?
Look, the simple fact is to believe this story you basically have to take all these individual events each with a very low probability of happenening and then put them all together. If you assigned a probability to each of these separate events and then multipled them so that you could calculate the probability of each of these events all happening together in order for Shep's body to survive, I think you end up with something that is beyond even a miracle. Might as well have a virgin birth and let Shep let turn water into wine while we are at it.
