Cheese is a topping on a cheeseburger by definition. "Optional" is not part of the meaning of "topping," at least not in my dialect. The only essential thing for the meaning is that a topping go on top of something. Your head's a topping for your body even if you'd not be you without it. Whip cream placed underneath a slice of cake is not a topping. The cheese on the meat of a cheeseburger is a topping.
