You don't. All Applications installed as part of Mac OS on the Mac cannot be deleted as they are installed on a Read Only partition of your drive where there is no access. The iPhone allows some installed apps to be deleted, but also a method to redownload them from the App Store which is not available on the Mac. You also cannot delete apps such as Chess, News, Voice Memos, etc on the Mac either.
