re: "Why did the 'fully operational' Death Star need a ground-based shield?"

All part of the ruse.  It was an Empire double-agent who sold the secret code
to the rebels, as well as the disinformation that the Death Star would not be
operational when they wanted to attack.

As Admiral Ackbar (?) said, "It's a trap!"
