Ah but they do. The videos show:
1) Landmasses indicating the scale of the visible earth below is around 600-700 km radius, with the rest of the earth being clipped from view (something a flat earth model cannot explain).
2) The horizon actually doesn't appear "at eye level", but quite visibly below. Eye-level should be half way between the top and the bottom of the image.
On a flat earth, we shouldn't see our view clipped around 700 km, but instead of seeing a black band between the horizon and the middle of the "no fish eye lens" video image, we should see a large part of the rest of the earth.
Expecting to see a left to right curvature only exposes a misunderstanding of what to expect from a globe earth model. To give a better sense of the what to expect, converting kilometres to feet, it would be like standing in the middle of a 400m circular track, on a footstool so your eyes are 7ft above it, then using a ruler to look for the curvature of the track. This miniature scale globe slice passes through you, at waist level, at a height of 3.5 feet -- and the track represents where your field of view is clipped at the horizon. Since the track is flat, and your vantage point is merely 7ft above it, the visible horizon all around you, for 360 deg, should appear fairly flat, according to a globe model.
This is an experiment and observation everyone can approximate at their local track, despite tracks not being circular, and most people being shorter than 7ft.
Not sure what you want to show with the Felix Baumgartner jump. It's meant to show a jump, without making an accurate statement about the shape of the Earth.

But the videos of weather balloons do not support that do they. Also if you are right then why do supposed trust worthy organisations put out videos such as the one below. You can't have it both ways.
Hopefully this will illustrate how wrong you are:
