I asked a similar question of Lowestoft and was told it wasn't valid as trains terminated there, so, on that basis, I would say that Hadfield could be invalid as it could be argued that trains 'terminate' there.

Yes, but no service call at say Oulton broad south, Lowestoft, Oulton Broad north, They call at Oulton Broad south Or Oulton Broad North then Lowestoft where they terminate, which is also the case at Hadfield so that too is invalid whereas at Bere Alston it's Bere Ferrers, Bere Alston, Calstock and so it is valid.

As you will note I never suggested Bere Alston would be invalid, however, I understand that many moons ago, a discussion occurred around Bourne End which is similar to Bere Alston

The case at Hadfield is that some peak trains do Dinting - Glossop - Hadfield - Dinting (evening), and some do Dinting - Hadfield - Glossop - Dinting (morning). Off peak trains do Dinting - Glossop - Hadfield - Glossop - Dinting.
