Flat Earth Theory / some doubts about the globe

I was in the Flat Earth bandwagon a while back.I have changed my views a bit and now i consider myself to be an earthal agnostic (i dont want to use global or planar
,if there is a better word please inform me) on the matter.However I have some doubts about the globe which I cannot get my head around.
1.Change in Gradient
If the Earth is a sphere,wont there be constant gradient shifts everywhere? In Australia we would be upside down as compared to the American or Northern European and vice versa.How do people get adjusted to these gradient shifts and why do we not feel any semblance of a slope change when travelling to two countries with almost opposite slopes?(America and New Zealand/Australia).Shouldn't a dude going from the United States to Australia feel like the world is upside down?
2.Core of the Earth
Modern science believes the globe to have a core which is around 6401 km deep or 3977.7 miles.The temperature is believed to be 6000 degrees Celsius.
"Experts" in the Flat Earth Conspiracy know the depth of the Kola Superdeep Borehole.12.262 km,the temperature however,was a whopping 180 degree Celsius.Thats a rise of about 14.67 degrees Celsius per km(never mind at 15km it was expected to be at 300 degrees which is 20 degrees per km).
Ignoring any factors other than the average heat increase for 12.262 km,the expected temperature at the core should be around 14.67*6401 which is approximately 94000 degrees Celsius.
How then,do we get the relatively cold 6000 degrees Celsius as the temperature of the Earth's core.
