From:

Change your Apple Account primary email address - Apple Support

- There's special instructions if you want to change your Apple ID to an @icloud.com address.

"If you try to change your Apple ID to an @icloud.com email address that was created within the last 30 days, you will be asked to try again later."


Personally I would not use an iCloud mail address for your Apple ID. If you have problems with your account you would also not have access to the emails Apple sends you helping you with recovering your account.
