While the earth is collecting more mass due to particulate bombardment from outer space (micrometeorites), you Will notice that most of the examples you noted were buried due to ash fall, windswept debris, flooding, and the like. Most material of modern cities will not survive. We will take them apart ourselves as progress and recycle. Your city will be buried if no one cleans.

Earth should not get thicker. As the inside comes out, the outside falls in. Increased internal heating could cause the Earth to expand.

Things get buried over time due to the accumulation of sediment. Sediment is caused by soil erosion in one place becoming airborne and volcanic dust settling elsewhere. Where we live right now will eventually be buried.

Study geology along with anthropology - you will understand that as time moves the earth shifts, changes and erodes and so does material. By the way no one as around to bury dinosaurs as they preceded humans by several billion years.

Museums are full of things from the past that did not come from underground.
