1. Hulk was traumatized by getting his ass beat. Him transforming wouldn't have made a difference as the henchmen were killed anyway and Hulk can't do anything to Thanos

2. Thanos can teleport wherever he pleases. Even if Strange stayed on Earth, Thanos would have just come to them for the time stone. The location hardly matters.

4. Gamora had already made the mistake of telling Nebula. Telling him where it was was just putting off the inevitable. Thanos would have gotten it out of her eventually.

5. Thor had almost no agency where it landed. If you remember Thanos blasted Stormbreaker head-on, and it landed in his chest after it burst through. Whose to say if it was blasted at a different angle, it's trajectory would have been changed, not hitting Thanos at all etc

6. Strange gave Thanos the time stone because it was part of the one of 14 million+ plaths where the Avengers win

7. If he didn't make him the Gauntlet, Thanos would have tortured it out of him.
