How can I remove the message notification of the switching Messaging

How do I remove this annoying message from my messaging about the swith that they are trying to force us to change

You can't remove it since it's there to remind you of the shutdown coming so you can download another texting app before it's gone.

Thank you

They're not forcing you to adopt Google Messages. You're free to use any third party texting app from the Google Play Store.

I shouldn't have to download another's third party app. My service is with Samsung

So, am I to understand that you never, once, ever downloaded an app from the Play store because Samsung has everything you need?  If you don't want download a third party messaging app, just switch to Google, which is already on your phone and is a first party app, not a third party app.  Your service is not actually with Samsung, your service is with your carrier.  You have a Samsung branded phone, which is also a Google Android phone with software from both companies. If you don't want Google, you don't buy Android.  If you don't want to use Google messages, you will need to find a third party messaging app to download.

Agree with you. We shouldn't have to use third-party apps for basic apps that should come with any phone.
