Because Earth's gravity pulls things toward the center of the Earth. It isn't like Earth being in an external gravity field where the N pole is "up" and the south pole is "down" - in this case, you could only stand on the Earth near the north pole.
Viewed from space, "up" on the north pole is the opposite direction (in space) as "up" on the south pole. This is because we define up and down relative to gravity, which is going in different directions at all points on the Earth.

Water only falls into space on cube shaped planets.
On pyramid shaped ones it usually collects in the basement, which is why the pyramid planet people have to call the technical services so often to pump it out of there.
The donut shaped planets are the worst. The water is always collecting on the inside of the donut, so the inhabitants have to live in a desert, staring at this giant ocean in their sky. The only times it rains is when a whale in the ocean blows and some of the water squirts onto the surface.
Now, there is a highly speculative theory that planets with an icosahedron shape (that's the shape of a soccer ball) have lakes on each side. On Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays the water collects in the lakes on the pentagon sides. On every other day of the week it can be found in the hexagonal lakes. But that is just a theory, like evolution!

To the guy who mentioned the earth doesnt have a superb or backside: sure it does. splendid, area doesnt have an up or down, and nor might the earth if it have been table sure. besides the incontrovertible fact that that is spinning, and as such it has 2 properly defined factors of excellent and backside, noted as the Geographical North and South Pole. And sure, a planets mass is focused at that is middle, so each and every thing is being pulled in the direction of there. that's the comparable reason planets (or something over a undeniable length) are around. that is pulled itself to the middle thus far because it could!

The simple answer is that Gravity is stronger than the repellent force of spin.
FYI water would not "Fall" into space, given everything being equal, it would evaporate - like it did on Mars.

Gravity pulls everything to the center.
The problem for the air is worse than for water.
