No you haven't. PageEdit only edits/saves xhtml.

In fact, when I edit my EPUBs, I tend to change all text files to either HTML or CSS. If I see an XHTML, I generally rename it to HTML.

You're not changing anything but the file extension by doing that. An xhtml file with an html extension is still an xhtml file. It's not the name that makes it xhtml. It's the syntax.

Thus, is there any reason (for ebooks) to use XHTML?

Yes. The reason is that the epub requires files to conform to the xhtml specification.

Or am I safe in making all my XHTML files into HTML and reading my ebooks in that way?

As mentioned above, you're not actually changing anything by renaming files to an html extension. But to answer your question: renaming all xhtml files to html is perfectly "safe" to do with epub2. But only because doing so actually accomplishes nothing. Filename <> Format. And Sigil/PageEdit only do the xhtml
format.
