A flashlight still lights up the whole room, even if it’s just pointed at one wall. It’s not like half the room is totally dark, while the other half is totally bright.
the sun is also flat and it sits directly above the earth. it’s just that it rotates so sometimes we can only see the side of the sun that doesn’t have any light.
Don’t forget that it’d be nighttime after a certain distance, because light can only travel so far distance before it disappears.
Well now you’re assuming the sun is spherical and gives off light in all directions.
If it were more like a flashlight, then flat earth day and night still works. So checkmate again.

Only because light bounces around.
If you do so outside, the light disappears into space.
But we wouldn’t see sunrise/sunset.
