The shuttle has a load button, but the dialog after clicking it is empty and no items can be loaded. This can be worked around by creating a caravan, loading things manually, cancelling the caravan entering the shuttle. It would be much better if the shuttle could just be loaded.

The shuttle does indeed have this function.  What version of the game are you using?  I can do this on 1.2.2753.

Are you using any mods?

Please provide a save of this bug so I can take a better look.

I'm on 1.2.2753 without any mods.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Start a crashlanded game, losing is fun, reload any time (seed "lawyer")
2) Pick a random spot and start the game
3) Allow all items on the ground and make home zone over the items
4) In dev mode, Generate quest -> Mission_BanditCamp -> 1 colonist -> 700 pts
5) Accept the quest
6) Click the shuttle -> click "Set to load" -> click "Items" tab
7) Observe that the tab is empty

Just a question, why do you think you should be allowed to take items with you ?
You should send 1 pawn to an attack and get transported back after it.
The pawn don't need any bedroll or food.
He just need to fight.
Let him grab a weapon, equip some armor, maybe he grab a spare food to his inventory then send him to the shuttle for the dutty.
Sure, some spare medicin would be nice to take to the mission, but mosttimes the raider drop some.
Or you can use a mod to have medicin at the inventory or spare weapons.

I don't care about mods. I consider this a bug and I already described why.

This isn't the first time that you told me to use mods. Please, don't bother.

I don't think that is a bug and intented that you can load ONLY pawn's into the attack shuttle.
But the devs need to decide about it.
I don't want you to force to use any mods, but if you don't agree with a vanilla mechanic it is a tool to change it.

Perhaps I misunderstood.  You are wanting the shuttle to load items in to it from your colony BEFORE you leave TO the mission, not take loot back FROM the mission to the colony? 

If so, that is a deliberate game design choice and not a bug.
