All of Earth is spinning, you are mistaking the atmosphere for being different from the soil, the atmosphere spins with the Earth. Think of the atmosphere and the ground as one, they spin together, there's a slight difference but it's negligible for a helicopter ride. Leaving Earth in a straight line in a rocket and coming back along the exact same line will end you up in an entirely different place because of the rotation of Earth.
Also you don't feel Earths movement because it's not resisting against anything, it's spinning in a partial vacuum, it's spinning in essentially nothingness, there's no resistance to generate any sort of sensations. When you are going up an elevator you are resisting air and gravity and can feel this resistance. When there's an earthquake, there's a whole lot of resistance between the colliding tectonic plates. Spinning ball of matter in nothingness = no resistance = no sensation.
