I don't think anyone is saying the Earth is a 2D surface. A shovel would disprove that one.

So IDK what you mean. Yes, it is flatter... and you can always go faster and then it would be even flatter.

If there is some finite thickness that meets your criteria of "flat," then there is some speed you could travel past the Earth which it would be flat.
