What is Clear in iPhone Mail App?
“Clear” marks a mail message as not being primary — not time-critical — and otherwise doesn’t change its classification as a transaction, social update, or promotion. In other words, “Clear” removes the message from the priority list.
Mail messages are categorized (by Apple Intelligence) as a primary or time-sensitive (clock) mail message, and as news, subscriptions and social updates (speech bubble). Selecting clear reportedly removes it as being time-sensitive.

To remove this Clear option, you just need to turn off Apple Intelligence in the Mail App.
