Unable to change Apple ID email address

I have followed the apple instructions to change my email address as per link:


Change your Apple ID - Apple Support


However, when I try to do so it says 'continue on one of your devices'. When I go to mac - I am not able to delete the current email because it is linked to my apple ID.


I am stuck in some weird loop! How do I do this?
