Paul, your best bet may be to bring your phone to a local phone shop that has the part in stock and ask them for data recovery only.

Your biggest issues right now are that:

A. You cannot access the settings menu to enable USB debugging.

B. You cannot change the USB settings if your phone is currently set to "charge only"

C. You cannot install any apps from the play store.

Plugging in a new screen solves these issues. As the Galaxy S5 disassembly begins from the front, an experienced technician can remove your old screen in 5 minutes. It will then take 10 seconds to plug in a new screen to use on a temporary basis. I understand you likely do not want to pay the cost of repair for a galaxy s5 screen, but in this case you could negotiate labor-only fee with the shop since their expensive part will be left in new condition.
