There's no requirement whatsoever about where you start or end your trip, or where you start or end a travel day.

Okay but what if I’m in London now and want to travel from here to other European countries, and come back to London. I don’t need to put London as my number 1 and last destination?
I guess you are refering to the trip planner here: https://www.eurail.com/en/tripplanner
Basically it is a useless tool to count travel days. You do not have to use it in any way. Just make a spreadsheet of your trip and count on how many days the pass might be useful (feel free to buy separate regular tickets for short journeys).
Off topic: Eurostar requires a 35€ seat reservation on top of your Interrail pass. There is limited availability for passholders, check Rail Europe for example (add rail pass -> Eurail). In summer trains can sell out far in advance. Luckily there are some alternatives.
Also check this guide for all kind of details: https://www.seat61.com/interrail-and-eurail-reservations.htm
