It's funny that Amazon would want to put up their icon on Ubuntu's Unity launcher or even on Windows.
Just because a user see an Amazon icon somewhere, it's neither going to entice users to click it or give it more advertising. In-fact, it does just the opposite. Annoy people for putting a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program) into their OS.
To get rid of Amazon on Ubuntu 16.04, just do this:
sudo rm /usr/share/applications/ubuntu-amazon-default.desktop
sudo rm /usr/share/unity-webapps/userscripts/unity-webapps-amazon/Amazon.user.js
sudo rm /usr/share/unity-webapps/userscripts/unity-webapps-amazon/manifest.json
