Using uploaded Apple Gift Card
How do I access the money in my apple gift cards that I've uploaded when I purchase items from the app store? I find it frustrating and complicated to use this money that is supposedly in my account.

Sam,
That doesn't sound right. See "what payment method is charged" in this guide: How apps, content, and subscriptions from Apple are billed - Apple Support where the credit balance is always first (except for gifts).
If that is not what is happening, contact Apple Support.

If you have redeemed the cards, then the amount will be in your Apple ID balance. If you buy something (other than a gift) your Apple ID balance will be used first. Even if it asks for a credit card for verification, the balance will be used.
That is what I thought, but that is not my experience. My credit card is being charged and my available balance remains the same.
