Not to start any arguments here, but:
there IS a fingering for that high D, so it is technically PART of the flute's range, albeit the extreme.
And the low range CAN extend to a B just below middle C if you have the "patte de si" extension.
However, the point here being that the extreme high note isn't being approached in a realistic fashion, and in strictly "baroque" terms, it is not part of the flute register.
