Whether you like the answer or not, there is no junk filtering options in the iOS Mail app. For iCloud you can login to the desktop version of iCloud mail at https://www.icloud.com and create rules to filter messages to trash.
You can similarly go to the web version of other mail service providers and see if their are settings there you can edit for junk/spam filtering (message rules, blacklists, white lists, etc).
If you have a Mac that you leave on all the time and which accesses the same email services as your iOS device uses, you can leave mail open on the Mac, and create rules there’s so it receives and filters the same emails as your iOS device is receiving.
But you cannot do any of those things directly from the iOS mail app itself.
To submit feedback to Apple Inc. directly, use the feedback portal (Product Feedback - Apple) instead of asking a question here in the user community forums (where Apple’s presence is very minimal).

You asked a question. I gave you an answer you clearly don't like. That doesn't change how spam is handled on iOS based devices.

Use Filters to Automatically Rid of Spam:
Rather than blocking it, you can have the option of just emptying the spam whenever it is received. This is available through a Mail-type app created directly from your eMail Provider.
Just know that some eMails are important for an eMail provider’s items like Two Factor Authentication (bit not Apple). So, add those domains to your safe list avoid missing these eMails.
Contact the eMail Provider for Assistance:
In all, contact your eMail provider directly, for assistance with Automatic deletion of Spam and Junk emptying, particularly for their apps designed for iOS device usage.
Just because something comes in as junk, doesn't mean you can permanently block it on iPad. We're all users on this forum.
So, tell Apple what you'd like: Feedback - iPad - Apple
On the iPad directly, you can't. You can use the desktop version on your home computer and if they permit setting up an agent to block addresses you define, that's where you'd need to do it.
What is junk setting for ? Someone who knows how to code at Apple could create auto block when email is moved to junk ?
That is NOT a useful answer to my question? Do you know someone at Apple that can answer the question on what the junk setting does?
