You cannot do that, iCloud Photo Library is for syncing and backup.

if you delete photos on your iPhone, it will also delete all photos everywhere using your iCloud account.

Best you save photos onto your computer before you delete.

If you erase the pictures from your iPhone, you will erase them from everywhere. If you want to reduce the amount of photo storage on your iPhone, you can “optimize” your local library: Settings > Photos > Optimize iPhone Storage should have a checkmark next to it.
