When you are dealing with simpletons and their magic book there is no problem that can't be solved by saying "Poof."
Declare there was no flood and no god, and the problem is not only destroyed, but annihilated.

Even if you were extremely conservative and cut the number of your calculations in half, you still come up with an insane amount of water.
Actually, the continents are topographically surprising flat, and the average elevation of all continents are less than 1 km. So the impact of land topography on the water needed to cover top of mt Everest is at most 2-3%. It would be insanely comical to discuss 2-3% accuracy when examing the rigor and precision of biblical cosmofartology.
