The Apple ID is already signed in an iPhone , and at least one trusted number is verified in the account to set up the account successfully , 14 days have been crossed the 2FA account is permanent , you can't add zero trusted number in the account , even if you had tried to add no trusted number when you were creating the account it won't set up .

A trusted number is essential , see the articles Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support

Add or remove a trusted phone number

When you enrolled in two-factor authentication, you had to verify one trusted phone number. You should also consider adding other phone numbers you can access, such as a home phone, or a number used by a family member or close friend.

  1. Go to Settings  > [your name] > Password & Security.
  2. Tap Edit (above the list of trusted phone numbers), then do one of the following:
    • Add a number: Tap Add a Trusted Phone Number.
    • Remove a number: Tap next to the phone number.

Trusted phone numbers don’t automatically receive verification codes. If you can’t access any trusted devices when setting up a new device for two-factor authentication, tap “Didn’t get a verification code?” on the new device, then choose one of your trusted phone numbers to receive the verification code.

i just don’t want my phone number be the part that of my ID in my ICloud account. Because i do not feel safe with that , i only trust to my Email, because i can travel to an other country, they might buy number to someone else

or someone can use my phone number to access to my ICloud.

now i want to remove my phone number without adding an other one, i tried to much to delete it but the is no options for that

because the steps asking for a new number?

how i can remove it without adding any phone number ?
