iCloud offers the service to remotely wipe (erase) a mac, as you can remotely erase an iPhone. Where can I change this setting, e.g. disable it?

The Find My Mac feature can be enabled and disabled in the iCloud settings (System Preferences → iCloud)

You cannot disable just the "erase" feature: the locate, lock and erase features must be managed as a single option.
