To the OP, yeah, those faces should be more than 50% flat. 100% isn't necessary, I'd consider 70% to be a fair target.

If it were mine, I would just clamp the adapter in my mill vise and mill it flat. I don't expect most people to have a machine shop in their garage.
The Park tool you've linked is likely the better tool for the job than your home mill. It's important that the post-mount flats are perfectly perpendicular to the rear axle, not to the welded disc tab.
