Well, your iCloud account has an @icloud.com address, and as I say, if it's the 'primary address' - listed at the top of the list (if you also have aliases) in the Mail Preferences page at icloud.com - you can't remove it. iCloud provides email as part of its service, and this can only be an @icloud,com account (unless you have the legacy @me.com version as well). You don't have to use the email - you can turn it of in System Preferences (or Settings) on each device. You can the still use the other services. The iCloud Mail account cannot access your Gmail account.
