You need to see the article Add and manage email aliases for iCloud Mail on iCloud.com - Apple Support

Turn off, turn on or delete an alias

You can turn an email alias on or off at any time. You can also delete email aliases that you no longer want to use. While turning off an email alias is temporary, deleting it is permanent. When an alias is turned off or deleted, email sent to that alias is returned to the sender.

  1. In Mail on iCloud.com, click  at the top of the Mailboxes list, then choose Settings.
  2. Click Account, select an iCloud Mail alias in the list, then do any of the following:
    • Turn off an alias: Select “Disable alias”, then click Save Changes.
    • Turn on an alias: Deselect “Disable alias”, then click Save Changes.
  • Delete an alias: click “Delete alias”, then click Delete.
    • Note: If you have three email aliases and you delete one, you must wait 7 days before you can create a new one.

You cannot delete or turn off a primary iCloud Mail address. You cannot use an alias to create a separate Apple ID, and an email alias cannot be converted to a primary iCloud Mail address.
