You completely misunderstand what you are looking for.

Pic related, on the left we have what you think we would have. A flat earther with a clear line of sight all the way to the other side of Kansas if they had a good enough telescope and the day was clear.
On the right, we have what we ACTUALLY get, which is the line of sight of the far side of Kansas cock blocked by the flat chested Kansas thanks to the curvature of the Earth. The reason you don't see the curvature included into the elevation map, is because the elevation shows the difference from sea level, and sea level approximates the curvature of a smooth, level surface.
