You will have to request Minecraft Support to delete that existing Java Edition profile from your Microsoft account. Once they do so, you can migrate your Java Edition profile to it. I'm assuming their support's pretty hammered right now, so I'm not sure if they will get back to you in time.
The easiest thing to do would be to choose a different Microsoft account to complete the migration, despite the inconvenience it might cause later on.
Migrate it to your child's/spouse's Microsoft account if you have one. If you're feeling extremely generous, migrate to a friend's Microsoft account. You can then swap usernames between the accounts at a later date.
