Electrum allows you to receive to different address each time but when you send it doesn't is there a wallet that allows you to generate new address to send from too?
You can read more about the whirlpool on Sparrow and Samurai. If you have coins on any of this two wallets, you can go for the coinjoin which is the whirlpool which will help you to mix the coins to different addresses. But this will require fee to be paid. If you want to send the coin, it would be from the mixed coin which is from different addresses

You don’t send an address you send UTXOs which are on your received address, so basically those receiving addresses are also your sending address. You can chose which one to send from and which one not to send from. This is what coin control is all about, if you want to specifically send from a particular address you use coin control to send from it and if you don’t want any UTXOs coming out from a particular address maybe because you don’t want them to mix up with some of the others then you freeze that particular address you don’t want to send out from

You only can send bitcoins from your UTXOs in your wallet. If you send it all, you have nothing left but if you send part of it, you will have two options to receive rest of your bitcoins: to a same address where you send your bitcoins; to a change address. It depends on your wallet settings in past wallet versions.

Electrum change addresses in Preferences

In newest versions like 4.4.6, it is hidden and Electrum default option is always using Change addresses.

How to use the Electrum wallet receive tab.

Initial receive address is in Green.
Change address is in Yellow.

That is unlikely to happen and there is no such onchain wallet. You must have input tx(s) first before creating output tx(s). Even though the change addresses in Electrum are unified because they're generated from 1 seed phrase, that doesn't mean they are technically merged. They have their own private keys and can't sign tx(s) on another Bitcoin address that they don't own.

Not sure if I understand what you're asking here: but you can only send from the address that you received the coins to. It's technically not possible to receive funds from wallet1, and send the funds from wallet2.

If this was possible in Electrum wallet then Mixers will be not live for this propose.  BTW your idea is good and it will be a very good feature if Electrum developers ever think about it and success in bringing it.

I researched about for your question and found that some wallets like HD (Hierarchical Deterministic) wallets already mentioned by @Chloe provide the capability to generate new addresses for both receiving and sending transactions. The good things is that the wallets use a single seed phrase to derive an entire hierarchy of key pairs which allow you to create new addresses which we needed  for enhancing privacy and security. You could use HD wallets for the feature you're looking for in address generation for sending transactions and I hope your problem will be solved.

I think you are confusing the hierarchical deterministic (HD) wallet feature. These wallets mask your transaction trail by generating new wallet addresses after every transaction. This done by creating a series of private keys consistently to sign transactions.
Ledger is an HD wallet op.Others are Exodus,Trezor and lots more.
Mycelium which is one example of such wallets is also a mobile wallet.
It is also important for you to understand that although ledger is an HD wallet it uses a single "send from" address to make it easy to track transactions. Though you can modify that in your ledger wallet settings. You can make use of Bitcoin core if you are having issues setting up multiple "send from" addresses.
