You can remove the "Learn more about this picture" Windows Spotlight Icon from the desktop in Windows 11 if you find its presence annoying. So you can keep Spotlight for serving your wallpapers, but without its icon.
Spotlight is a feature that is familiar to most Windows users. It is available starting in Windows 10. There, Microsoft added it as a Lock Screen background option. So every time you lock the screen, you see a fresh gorgeous background image downloaded from the Internet.

Spotlight is a feature that adds different Bing images to Windows 11’s desktop background when enabled. That feature also adds a "Learn about this picture" icon to the desktop you can double-click to bring up image info. Right-clicking that icon brings up a context menu that includes a Switch to next picture option.
The context menu doesn’t currently have an option for deleting the "Learn about this picture" icon. Maybe Microsoft might add such an option in a future version of Windows 11.
