Q: I feel stupid asking this but here goes...

I do not see a way (natively) to deal with this.  You can post a comment to Apple using the menu item "Number > Provide Number Feedback"

As a follow on (work around) you could add a small table that you leave near the area of interest, then you can select that table to "jump" to that spot using the sheet menu:

I can't confirm your observation. When I save with a down-table cell selected and close, the document reopens exactly as it was when I closed it.

Well, if I have a table with many rows and if I am scrolled to one of the rows far down the table, and I select a cell in that far-down row, then Save the document and Close it, I find the same cell selected and in view when I reopen the document.

Is that clear?
