The question was still open when I found it and I had a similar problem, so here is my solution (without doGet()), based on the useful comments from Wim den Herder and Rubén (and the example in the documentation):

Code.gs

function sendEmail() {
var recipient = 'test@mail.de';
var subject = 'Test Email'; 
var message =     HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile('Index').evaluate().getContent();;


// SEND THE EMAIL 
GmailApp.sendEmail(
      recipient,         
      subject,                            
      message, {                        // body
      htmlBody: message                 // advanced options
    });

}

function getData(){
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById('MySpreadSheetId');
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName('Sheet1');
// Data is in cell A1
var myName = sheet.getRange(1,1).getValue();
return myName
}

Index.html
