They were not denying you a bulkhead seat, merely wanting to charge you for it.
Even their own Black Card holders does not seem to have completely free access to these seats "Preferential check-in for pre-booking seats with full availability, regardless of the fare profile (except for Space +)."

Anything you can do after the fact? Absolutely nothing!
