That is why Krum only did a partal transformation. If he went all the way he

He transformed his head, the part that contains his brain. He managed
a partial transformation on his head (granting the outer appearance,
but retaining the human mind), and what he does to the rest of his
body should be irrelevant. I suspect the real reason he opted not to
transform his trunk and limbs was that he wanted to still be able to
use his wand. Indeed, the particular spell he used may have required
him to use his wand to untransform himself.

If the ability to fly depends on having a full bird brain, wouldn't
the ability to breathe underwater through gills require a shark's
brain?

Rowling's rules may not necessarily be totally consistent.
