If your main goal is to call python3 when you runpython, you must define aliases in .bashrc instead of removing python. Messing up python may cause your system to break.

You need to define the two different python versions
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python2.7 1
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python3.6 2
Then you need to choose which version should be defined as default
sudo update-alternatives --set python /usr/bin/python3.6
