Google Pixel 9 and its various flavours launched

I don't believe you can, at least not on Pixel phones with the stock launcher. You can disable "at a glance" but the date remains persistent and takes the same amount of space.

there are ways to get rid of the Google search, but it only removes the bar, the space is still unusable...just a big empty spot, so I keep the search bar there as maybe it will come in useful sometime.

yeah...I forgot to clarify when you turf the at a glance, the date widget includes a weather report, which is something @great_big_abyss said he wanted. the issue with that is the now opened space is still unusable for app icon placement. same thing for the Google search bar...when you remove it, you have a blank space that can't be used either, so I keep it there as perhaps it will come in useful time sometime.
