You can extend it through MSBuild. Add this into your <azure function>.csproj file:

<ItemGroup>
    <FunctionsPublishAssemblies Include="$(TargetDir)MyConsoleApp.exe"></FunctionsPublishAssemblies>
</ItemGroup>

After that, click Publish button and you will find the MyConsoleApp.exe is under publish\bin folder during publish process.

Update

Add these under <azure function>.csproj file:

<ItemGroup>
    <FunctionsPublishAssemblies Include="$(TargetDir)MyConsoleApp.exe"> 
    </FunctionsPublishAssemblies>
</ItemGroup>
<Target Name="DeleteFile" AfterTargets="_AspNetCoreProjectSystemPostPublish">
        <Delete Files="$(PublishDir)MyConsoleApp.exe"></Delete>
</Target>

Then, re-publish your project.

Your idea is meaningless, this is by design. And, one thing that needs to be pointed out is that your exe has been compiled into the bin folder, and the bin folder you mentioned is the bin folder of the function app. You can manually put all the relevant files into bin and call them in the code, but IMHO this doesn't make much sense.

Please check your function app:
