I think you misunderstanding plugins and preferences.

If you want to override an entire class you need to use preferences:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd">   
    <preference for="Magento\Sales\Block\Adminhtml\Order\View"
                type="SR\StackExchange\Block\Adminhtml\Order\View" />
</config>
