Then my friend you can't remove Google from your device. Only vanilla roms without any google shenanigans is your way to go.
Doesn't even vanilla AOSP or what it's called still phone home to Google for time, internet-check, cage-checks etc? I think you'd need Graphene (only available on Google hardware (Pixel) ๐) or another custom ROM (or do a lot of firewalling on vanilla / Lineage etc) to really be free of Google (if that's even possible).
