It's pretty obvious that GA was the most disappointing state for Rs last year, but which state was most disappointing for Ds? Texas? Florida? Ohio?

I'm not even sure about that. A Georgia and Arizona loss had obviously been apparent.
I think it hurt the GOP election strategists much more that they lost each of the three competitive blue-collar WWC states MI, PA and WI.

As for the Democrats: The correct answer is, obviously, North Carolina, as the Democrats had promised themselves a win there.
The runner-up is Florida, not because they would have built any false hopes up there, but because no Democratic campaign strategist had expected such a massive swing of the Cuban Americans in favor of Trump.

Eh, GA Dems flipped both Senate Seats and GA was seen as less likely to flip than AZ. The Swings in Suburban ATL were better for Dems than in Suburban Phoenix.

I understand that Georgia was the MVP of the latest election cycle, but technically, you asked for the most disappointing state in 2020, but the GA Senate runoffs took place in 2021, strictly speaking.
