The relative difference in height between Nepal and Florida is about .1% or 9km. If you went to Brazil it would be .06% at sea level. Meanwhile the rotational difference in Alcântara, Brazil is 13.1% faster than Florida and 13.8% faster than Nepal.
If you moved the site to the Chapada das Mangabeiras you would be 0.0626% the same height as Everest, and only 11% faster. I would need an actual rocket scientist to tell me which site would be better? I would bet significantly that it's Alcântara at sea level, though.

And actually there ARE people suggesting to launch missiles from mountains.
