As soon as I add a recipe which installs an external kernel module into an initramfs image it automatically installs the linux kernel image in a /boot directory. This is really bad as it increases the size of the initramfs image. /boot/Image should not be installed in the image when an external kernel module is added to an image.

There is an ages-old control knob for that, read here: https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/tree/meta/classes/kernel.bbclass#n623 In your machine or distro config, you can set this as: RDEPENDS_${KERNEL_PACKAGE_NAME}-base = "" But that will affect all your images for a given machine.

In the link below there's a comment about the default dependencies and how to alter them. Basically, every kernel-module-* RDEPENDS on kernel-base, which normally RDEPENDS on kernel-image. So, when you insall a module into your rootfs, it follows the dependency chain properly. Hence all the suggestions you received to simply disconnect kernel-image from kernel-base. That normally works for most cases, unless you need a mixed behavior that I mentioned.
