Yeah I would love to use a smartphone that doesn't require to have an account! It's simply not possible with iOS or Android as you need an account if you want to download apps.

Also I would love a smartphone that doesn't come with many preinstalled apps I don't need.

You could use LineageOs with F-droid (open source apps only) as the main store and Yalp (access to the play store without an account of your own) for everything you don't get in your main store.
