They all have different purposes to fulfill the Kingdom. Michael will be the one to take people out of Babylon into the promised land at the resurrection.
BTW Uriel is also an angel, you are correct.
From the Book of Enoch, chapter 20....
1,2 And these are the names of the holy angels who watch. Uriel, one of the holy angels, who is 3 over the world and over Tartarus. Raphael, one of the holy angels, who is over the spirits of men. 4,5 Raguel, one of the holy angels who takes vengeance on the world of the luminaries. Michael, one 6 of the holy angels, to wit, he that is set over the best part of mankind and over chaos. Saraqael, 7 one of the holy angels, who is set over the spirits, who sin in the spirit. Gabriel, one of the holy 8 angels, who is over Paradise and the serpents and the Cherubim. Remiel, one of the holy angels, whom God set over those who rise.

Raphael and Uriel are not in the Protestant Bible. Raphael is in the Book of Tobit (Catholic Bible). Uriel is in Niether. Michael and Gabriel are the only two mentioned in the Protestant Bible.

Heck, I'm not even close to being a Catholic person but I had to give the Catholic Crusader a thumbs up. You need to read the Bible more and read less of man's opinions.

Rapheal, Michael, and WHO?
Do you mean Gabriel?
'Angel' is the name of their office, not of their nature. If you seek the name of their nature, it is ‘spirit'; if you seek the name of their office, it is ‘angel': from what they are, ‘spirit,' from what they do, ‘angel.'" With their whole beings the angels are servants and messengers of God. Because they "always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven" they are the "mighty ones who do his word, hearkening to the voice of his word.
