Just like you said, lift has no relation to the ground yet we make it appear this way in every flight training books.
Up for another trivia question? From straight and level flight, what is the fastest way to accelerate? (be precise in the answer)
To give the greatest acceleration you would pull back on the stick as hard as possible...loading the airplane with as many units of gravitational acceleration (g's) as possible.
