The strange uniformity of the lunar craters

this photo of the moon, I have started to wander a bit, the first thing I thought is:

1. The moon always has a dark side, that is, always shows us the face, and in the same way, so that there is a point that is closest to Earth, and it seems always the same. Must be highly prized because it is the best place to put a transmitter / receiver to communicate with Earth.

2. In view of the craters, the moon does not seem a very safe place to put anything, because having no atmosphere or magnetic field to protect it (the latter course in the middle I digress, I have no idea if any), is continually peppered by meteorites.

3. And now comes the strange. If you always give the same face to the earth, that face, mainly the area closest to the earth, should be well protected against meteorites, the Earth itself.

4. Maybe the earth's gravitational field to deflect certain meteorites that part precisely, but these meteorites are much less than if it were the earth.

Noting the photo, I do not see anything like that, can anyone explain why?
