You can disable the built-in apps.
They can't be removed as pre-installed apps are part of the OS image. It's a bit like the immutable distros now popular in Linux. Any update to the OS would just re-add them anyway.
These apps aren't exactly huge in disk size so disabling them is safe and effective. It will reduce battery and memory usage if you would ordinarily have them running in the background for some reason.
