You don't really need much else. Especially with Adam and Eve, because without that being true, the whole religion crumbles since there's then no fall and no need for Jebus.
Other than the flat earth (which I don't have any idea what you are talking about) and the 6 days of creation (which has already been discussed having different legit interpretations) none of these things have been disproved. What you would have to disprove is the existence of God and that is not on your list Godslayer.
While the myth of the flood is common around the world there was no global flood in the history of the real world. There might have been flood myths in your particular tradition, but we are concerned with the history of the real world. And in such context there was no Noah, no ark, no flood. Ignoring the fact that the myth is borrowed, almost verbatim, from earlier myths (such as the epic of Gilgamesh, which predates the earliest dating of the bible by over one thousand years) the idea of it happening is absurd and impossible. It does not require the non-existence of God to say this. God may or may not still exist and the accuracy of a flood myth would have no bearing on that.
Also population genetics do cast the idea of two people being the source of humanity into serious doubt, and that's a generous way of phrasing it. The idea of a virgin birth is ridiculous for similar reasons, in that a woman by herself does not have the genetic material to make a baby. This was understandably not know at the time the gospels were composed, but there is little excuse today.
As to walking on water, maybe Jesus was the Flash. But I doubt it. The Flash had a cooler suit
