dual sided lands do not return when earthbent
I played a Burnwillow Clearing, which is the back side of a dual sided land. I then used a Badgermole Cub to earthbend the land. My opponent played an Acidic ***** to destroy the land, but the Burnwillow Clearing did not return to the battlefield like other earthbent lands normally do. Is this the intended interaction with Dual Sided cards, since the front of the card is not the same land that was destroyed?

Yes, the issue is the DFC nature of those cards. A permanent enters front face up by default, and eathbend does not change that default, so front face up it is. The front face of Burnwillow Clearing is a sorcery, and sorceries cannot enter the battlefield, so the card stays in the graveyard/exile.
Note, that if the front face is a permanent card, the land will return as that front face, regardless of what it was before.
