There is no “Gadol Hador” in America. Ki MITZION tetze Torah. You cannot compare the level of Torah of Israel to that of America. It’s like comparing a Av Bet Din to a Bar Mitzvah boy. Besides, Gadol Hador is a recent (Ashkenazic) invention. Back in the day, there was a Rav of one’s city, community, etc and that’s who people would go to for questions.
