As near as I understood it, the situation was that the transporters
weren't safe for human use, but DID function.  Why didn't the big E
just beam down parkas, down filled sleeping bags, a thermo-concrete
shelter, 50 hand phasers to keep all the rocks red hot, a Bar-B-que,
etc, etc, etc.

Also, if the shuttle craft couldn't land, how come he couldn't at
least air drop parkas, etc.

Either Captain Kirk was too slow on the uptake or he didn't give a
damn about his men.
