There are what are called 1st and 2nd order effects. Gravity is first order. The sloshing is second order. So as you say, scaling the model up does make additional factors matter relative to your 1 liter of gas on the table. But it's only the first order effects which make an appreciable difference when looking at it on a planetary scale.
Then if you say want to extend the model to your meteorogical model, you have to say, well... the density of air is different over the ocean because of evaporation. The gulf stream moves clouds consistently this way etc. But those things only matter after you've introduced gravity, and understood the earth's atmosphere as the "gravitational balloon" model. Then you introduce your sloshing to understand the next stage.
This way of thinking about things in terms of leading or second leading order effects when considering systems at varied scales is pretty common in physics.
Btw from lived experience I can tell you the only gulf between you and a 150 level physics class is that you are actually trying to learn it.
