Can I remove my @icloud.com email from my Apple ID

Is it possible to remove my original Apple ID email (@icloud) when I have already changed the email associated with my Apple ID? I want to be able to send and receive text messages on my laptop and iPad without it displaying the @icloud email. In settings it already says that my new email is my Apple ID yet it won't let me remove the @icloud one.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.4

You can't change/remove @iCloud.com, @me.com or @mac.com addresses unless it is an alias you created after the Apple ID was set up.


iCloud: About your @icloud.com, @me.com, and @mac.com email addresses.   *


iCloud - Create or change email aliases.   -

Have you tried going to Settings/Messages/Send & Receive, then tapping the @iCloud address to see id you can remove the check mark?
