I don't actually know how my child will learn to recognize charlatans and snake oil peddlers unless he learns many contradicting theories, has to sort through that, and gain experience doing exactly this.

The one place where we tend to confuse ourselves is that we're charlatans and snake oil peddlers too. We all hold countless unscientific cult beliefs, some individually, and some by virtue of being embedded in a given historical and cultural context. Those are embedded in EVERY cultural and historical context. Anything you teach your kid might be snake oil, and I have enough of an open mind to know I might be wrong.

Ergo, I don't have a problem with teaching kids things which are wrong, so much as with the cult-like way in which schools teach many concepts like CRT, or the right-wing equivalents.

So, you want to teach your kid all kinds of hateful weird cult theories from a young age. That's incredibly weird and almost nobody else would think that's a good idea, so I really can't see how you can possibly think you can speak with total authority on the matter ("that is exactly how you develop it", etc.).

You are firmly an N=1 case here. I'm not going to argue the merits of your teaching ideas any more because it's clear you believe in them, but if you don't realize your ideas are pretty extreme and fringe, then you should.

I'm not sure I'd call flat earth or a geocentric model hateful, but if you think so, more power to you.
