Main reason you currently can't remove Cortana, is because Cortana if you leave the additional features disabled, is just a rebrand of Windows Search, a relatively core OS function. Earlier versions of Windows 10 used to differentiate the two, current versions do not.

I don't think I need Windows Search either. I shut off the indexing service because it was always using 100% of my disk in the performance monitor.
