If water can stick to a bucket bottom under acceleration why can't it stick to a globe under acceleration? Obviously the direction of acceleration is not the same in these two cases, but in the case of the earth the centrifugal force is negligible and is far outweighed by the acceleration due to gravity.
The container was an example I used to show that water is affected by acceleration. You keep getting stuck on the direction of the acceleration. What if a stationary ball with very high mass had an acceleration pointing toward its center? Would the water stick to it then?
The centrifugal force of the earth is negligible because it's angular speed is very small. It revolves only once every 24 hours. You have confused linear speed with rotational speed. Try spinning a ball 1 revolution per day and see how much centrifugal force it has.
As for winds, that's another easy explanation if you think about it. The atmosphere is rotating with the land due to friction. Air behaves like a very thin fluid. Try putting water in a bucket and then spinning the bucket on its vertical axis... after a little while the water will be spinning with the bucket.
You keep telling telling me to do the math, but something tells me YOU haven't done the math.
It sounds like you're just afraid to trust yourself. I explained gravity is just an acceleration force, it's not magic. Earth's gravity has been measured at 9.8 m/s². You can feel the earth pushing back on your body, preventing you from traveling downward.
