You can request an account be deleted but remember that you will lose everything done or bought with that account.
Apple does not have a statement about email address re-use in its documentation that I can find but here is an April 2021 post by ASC contributor IdrisSeabright that was recommended by the official Apple team -
"Once you've used an email address as an Apple ID, it can't be used again for an Apple ID, even if the first Apple ID has been deleted."

This is in accordance with what is claimed in this April 2021 post https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252629414
- Original post: "I tried contacting chat support and finally phone support today and they told me that you can NEVER use an email address that was used for a deleted account."
