Why is a ball head useless on a monopod?
It's not that was an absurd statement! A ball head is great for a monopod!

One man’s great is another man’s useless when it comes to monopods...and heads. 😎

one excellent use of the ballhead is for getting pix of ceilings or other high angles without having to fall over backwards.
and a big advantage of monopods over tripods is negligible time in shifting from one position to another - eg, bumblebees on flowers

I recently purchased a tripod that has one leg that can separate and be used as a monopod.

I don't think a monopod will do for you. You need a tripod with a reversible Center Post. This link is an example not necessarily a recommendation

mine is a bogen 3021 it's an older model that with an allen wrench I can separate the Center Post turn the thing upside down and do what you want to do.
