Sure, you could gobble together your own system with exactly and only those features you like, except some of the bloat you cannot get even if you paid for it from elsewhere on a different phone.
Try to answer this then from a busines oriented viewpoint: If it truly was in the best interest of e.g. Samsung to ship their Android devices with only the unmodified vanilla Android without anything extra, then why don't they? They could save a boat load of money on developing all this customer unfriendly bloat by simply not doing it.

It's called bloat because it's excess that usually goes unused. And yet the carriers and the manufacturers continue to foist it onto their (Android) customers.
