Starting a new email with Tutamail or Protonmail and slowly making new accounts with those emails is not difficult. Not sure about Tutamail, but Protonmail allows for easy migration from Gmail.
Then self host your own email. If you are not the customer, you are the product, and that applies to digital infrastructure. No credible VPS or domain registrar will let you have amazing service for free without hidden costs either.
Yes you almost certainly can. It’s less painful than you might imagine. I used Gmail since it was launched, and now that account is unused except for a couple of mailing lists I don’t care about. It just takes a bit of time, but you can do it bit by bit.
Most websites allow you to change your email address, get one from somewhere else and slowly start changing them over until there are no more you can move. If you get your own domain you can ensure you are never trapped in any particular email provider ever again, though you will be playing about $50/year for a domain and email service. I have maybe a handful of things that still use Gmail.
I have my own domain and pay for a hosting service, don’t miss using big tech email services a bit.
Be careful where you place your email address, and even so you can create blacklists on the hosting service. Never had to yet, and in almost 10 years only 1 phishing email 2 weeks ago.
Well, I hate Google too. I just can’t divorce because of email reasons
