I don't need all of the default shown indicator icons.
How can I hide some of them, such as the icon for Geary email client (shown by the bell)?

Well, first of all, that's not a Geary indicator, that's indicator-messages and it has a lot more functionality than just displaying Geary notifications.
To delete it completely from your system, you can execute this command:
sudo apt-get remove indicator-messages
After it, all you need to do is to re-login (I have just tested this and it works).
Names of other default indicators:
indicator-power(the battery icon)indicator-bluetooth(the Bluetooth icon)indicator-datetime(date and time indicator in the center of Wingpanel)indicator-sound(self-explanatory)network-manager-gnome(network icon)
Alternatively, if you just want to disable their startup but not remove them from the system, you could try to go to /etc/xdg/autostart and delete their .desktop files (note: I haven't tested this method).
On Loki, you can change the visibility of various indicators in the wingpanel using dconf.
sudo apt install dconf-tools
Open dconf Editor and disable the indicators by going to org.pantheon.desktop.wingpanel.indicators.<indicator_name> and changing the boolean value to false.

Turns out this doesn't actually work, but it prevents bluetooth from turning back on after restarting. Oct 16, 2016 at 21:50
