I created a stupid silly Apple ID email address when I first created my Apple ID. I wish to change my @iCloud.com email to a more sensible one so as I can completely leave my hotmail email account and use apple exclusively.

What to do after you change your Apple ID or password - Apple Support I suggest doing this before you change your Apple ID or password.
Based on what I have read, I suggest you leave your Apple ID email address as a 3rd party email address because you have more flexibility if you need to change the email address. For example, if the Apple ID got compromised, you can change it to another address. I also have read of many people who were locked out of their accounts when they forgot their password. Since the recovery email address is the @iCloud email address, if you forget your password, you also can't access your email to get emails from Apple to recover your account. You can set a rescue email address, but for some people, this hasn't worked.
