Can I delete old Alias email address's?

When I first used apple's Jabber in 2003 I created an email to sign on, now it appears in my Apple ID alias. It doesn't allow me to remove it! the problem now is its showing up as the mail iCloud Mail when I sign into "Find My" Online and it only allows me to add an "@iCloud.com" email address when I only use "@gmail.com" for all my iCloud and E-mail preferences. I was to get rid of all current email Alias's that I don't use from 2003 and update them to my only email that I use currently.

MacBook Air, macOS 13.3

Those old @me addresses are not easy to manage. See if Apple can help you: Refer to this document for ways to contact Apple --> Choose your country or region - Official Apple Support

Select your country (also look for "other" regions), then a product. If you don't see one that handles your issue then keep experimenting with selections until you reach one that gets you a chat session or a telephone call and get the representative to redirect you.

or:

Contact Apple for support and service by telephone --> Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support

I've contacted Apple Support, Spoke with 3 different Representatives.

None of them were able to help me with deleting this.

The reps didn't even know what an "@me.com" email was and how it got there in the first place. I keep telling them it was from Jabber when I first signed up with an email associated with Apple. That using to be the messaging platform used back in the day.

I think apple engineering for software need to take a Look at this, because nobody seems to know how to can fix this and it should be a simple "delete" option, but its not.
