Aloha,

If I understand what you're saying correctly, this is a quirk
(feature?) of gmail. EVERYTHING (except Trash and Spam) is
ALWAYS in the "All Mail" folder. You can apply labels all you
wish and it will never, ever go out of "All Mail" unless you
delete it altogether by sending to Trash or Spam.

What I do is simply leave it alone. There is no harm done at
all.

In fact I leverage it to my advantage when creating org-mode
links to a mail item. I use an advising function to ensure
that the link points to the "All Mail" entry --- then no
matter how I relabel the mail item, the org-mode link will
always work (unless the mail is moved to Trash or Spam).

I have often thought about moving away from Gmail but to me
the All Mail concept is a killer feature.
