Better refer to the official docs than to some probably outdated
website.

You don't need to specify port and stream.  Gnus figures out the most
secure method automatically.

(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
             '(nnimap "Gmail"
                      (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")))

That means, that Gnus is not loaded at the time when that code got
executed, which is emacs startup time.  So put it into ~/.gnus.el
instead of ~/.emacs.
