Internet Account iCloud shows Apple ID, not my iCloud email address

I have 3 email addresses--1 iCloud and 2 Gmail accounts. For the past couple months, some (but not all) of my iCloud emails are appearing in one of my Gmail account's inbox.


Today, I went to System Preferences > Internet Accounts and noticed the iCloud Internet Account is referencing my Apple ID as the email address. I would like to change the iCloud Internet Account to reflect my iCloud email address--NOT my Apple ID--but the only field that can be edited is the description. How/where can I update the iCloud Internet Account to reflect my iCloud email address?

iMac (2017 – 2020)
