Polar coordinates would have us on an r value from the core, and a kind of x/y from there. Since the r would be basically static (not true but basically), we'd be considered to be on just an x/y coordinates. Thus flat.

Changing map coordinates does not change the shape of the Earth. You might want to investigate the distinction here.

Standing on the earth could be seen as standing on a looping flat surface if you understand the dimensions differently.
