I'm currently at the same point with the recorder. The 2nd octave fingerings are kind of funky. I don't really remember having this problem with the flute, but I learned in school, and it was the old "one note per week." So, you had time to internalize. But, I do understand being a self-learner and wanting to PLAY MUSIC NOW!!
I suggest you browse and find some music that you WANT to play that is mainly in the lower and middle registers but ventures into the upper. Set it up so that your fingering chart is available to look at, if necessary. And play. The only trick is, once you look up a note, don't look it up again for that particular song. And, take a moment to think of how it relates to notes around it, i.e. how is it the same and how is it different, as far as fingering. I have a book called "My Favorite Classics: Recital Pieces for Flute" (Tony Santorella) that might be a good choice, but I'm looking right now and can't find that it's still available. It has a wide variety of solos with piano accompaniment, many of which are only a half page long and no "darker" than 8th notes, although there is some more difficult material. I think the highest anything goes is G3, but there are quite a few in the A2-E3 range.
Of course, scales are always good, too. And, they don't HAVE to be boring. I read somewhere that James Galway wanders around his house doing them. I've been doing that--I have muscular tension issues, so that helps a lot when I'm warming up. Plus, it removes you from the music stand and the music and forces you to do it on your own, and, as you said, to translate it into something physical that helps establish your muscle memory.

There's a vast array of popular and classical flute music as well as books of good studies. Most good music shops stock a selection which you can browse - but I don't know any that let you see the music over the Internet. Something like ebay 280029820288 might be worth considering.
