Yeah, I'm always surprised that Google doesn't offer a way to change your account address. Like there's no way to say "this is my new Gmail address and all email to the old address will be forwarded to the new one and this new address will take over".
Google accounts include purchase ownerships and the like. Dropping an old one and starting a new one is non-trivial. And most reasonable people make their email accounts their names, and names do change. Marriages, transfolk, etc.
