I just figured that the existence of a subgroup of order $2^n$ can be proved...without refering to Sylow.
It can be shoowed that, following my earlier arguments, that if any subgroup of order $2^k$ exists and it generates more than $1$ cosets, then the union of that subgroup and any other of its cosets is a subgroup, of order $2^{k+1}$.
