Q: Questions regarding Apple ID change

I'm currently using 6Plus phone with an old gmail account as my Apple ID.

 

I've used this ID for about 4 years since when I was using a 4 phone.

 

I'm planning to have a new email address and dissmiss the old one.

 

I've found direction on how I can change the e-mail addres for my Apple ID,

 

Q1 but would changing the e-mail address cause in any loss of past downloads?

 

I have several hundreds of paid downloads mostly music files from I-tunes, and wouldn't want to lose any of them.

 

So I'd like to make sure that I wouldn't lose anything before taking further steps.

 

Q2 After changing the ID, would my apple account now be compeltely disconnected from the old e-mail address?

 

I'm being a bit sensitive with this issue, because I'd like to have any information about my apple activities not transfered to the google account records.

 

Q3 Finally, I already created my icloud e-mail address using the phone.

 

And it lookes like a new icloud account has been created.

 

Can I still submit this new e-mail address into my old apple account?

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 9.2.1

    Just had this problem solved under a friend's guidance, and everything worked fine except that I'm not too sure about Q2.

    Q3 didn't work as it said that I cannot have my icloud.com email account as my new Apple ID.

    It was a bit weired since the icloud account is run by Apple?
