Is my 2-year UK visa still valid if I haven't used it within the first 6 months of validity?

The UK Government website doesn't make any mention of validity being restricted so your visa should still be valid. If you're in any doubt you should contact the visa centre where you applied and ask the question.

Your visa is valid during its whole validity period.

However, if, for example, only using it close to its expiry, the officers may well want to know the reason for that, and depending on your explanation, could suspect some sort of fraud on your part.

To be safe, if possible being documentation (even social media conversations could be useful) proving why you got the visa so early without being able to use it straight away.
