It’s inaccurate to state that the earth was flooded. It was covered in water, but it wasn’t “flooded”, although I do appreciate your point.

Genesis 1:2 AND the earth 'became' without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. (deep what?)

AND the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the water.

IIPeter 3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of,

that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

6 Whereby the world (age) that then WAS, being overflowed with water, perished:

Peter is not describing Noah's flood as he already wrote about Noah in II Peter 2:5.

You and I are in agreement insomuch as the earth, according to your reference in Genesis, was covered with water. It was not flooded at that point, as it was in Noah’s flood.

The key word here is “flood”, which is an outpouring of water onto otherwise dry land. In Genesis 1 the Lord created earth and it appears that in the process God designed a world covered in water. Later we read that the Lord separated the waters and formed dry land:

“And God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so.” Genesis 1:9 ESV
