Click on the three dot icon on the top left, followed by "Filter messages like these." On the next screen, click "Create filter" and then check the box for "Mark as read."

I suggest using Gmail's filter features to automatically mark certain emails read without deleting them. Now that you're cleared out, let's do something about that constantly rising counter of unread emails.
