Please not. I use M-m frequently. If that binding were to be removed,
there would be no good way of doing what it does. C-a M-f M-b is not
good. I think the existence of bindings like C-o and M-m is one of the
differences between Emacs and lesser editors that makes Emacs so good.
I don't use C-z or M-z myself, but that's no reason for me to advocate
reassigning those keys to something else.
