On the contrary. I know what emails are stored in my inbox just as well as Google does. I can also search through that information and delete it if I so choose, so I do have control over it.

You can remove your access to that data. Theres no indication that said data is actually deleted.

They also have a lot more information about you than just your email, especially if you use their search.
