Why does earth have mean diameter?
Plate tectonics, rotation, and gravitational pull of the Sun, shift the Earth slightly, so that the Earth bulges near the Equator.
Is the earth's shape a perfect circle?

How many tidal bulges move around earth daily?
Two. Tides result from the two tidal bulges that "move" around the earth daily as a result of the gravitational attractions of the moon and sun and the rotation of the earth.
