Wanted to ask how easy or natural it gets for pilots to perceive
aircraft positions and movements without actually looking at the
respective indicators.

I've been in the flight deck only once, and confess that I had very
little physical sensation to give me an idea of the 0.7 Mach or
whatever that the A320's airspeed indicator was showing. In fact, at
the end of the journey, there was little to suggest the speeds we were
actually traveling at. Also, nearly throughout the 4-hour flight, the
heading was different from the direction of travel, but I didn't feel
that wind correction angle. I'm not sure whether or not the landing was
a x-wind, which tells you that that went imperceived too. The only
thing I could tell at all was the slightly pitch-up nose attitude
throughout, though I couldn't assess the angle.

Was I just me that was dumb or has anyone else not physically felt
these sensations at the first go?

Your eyes, behind and your inner ears are more likely to get you into
trouble than give you more control! There are a number of well known
illusions caused by trusting your senses. So the training exercise is
to get you to ignore your senses and trust the instruments. It's a
little terrifying at first but I actually like recovering from unusual
attitudes because it's a confidence builder.
