Do I need a Router? [Corporate Network Design (University Assignment)]

I'm looking at FortiNet Firewalls and have learned that they can route data between WAN and LAN. And that having a firewall as the edge device instead of a gateway router is normal.

Inside my LAN, I'm using a server for DHCP, DNS, and AD. All these connected through just switches and DMZ segmented by using FortiNet V-DOM.

I have about 100 users and possibly 200-300 devices. But since my Server is handling DHCP and switches routing data between the Firewall, DHCP/DNS/AD Server, and User devices.

Do I need a router? Have I made a silly mistake?
