How can I transfer ALL the photos and videos from my MacBook Air to icloud ?
The problem here is that my MacBook Air has very little space remaining and I have 2 terabybes in icloud.

iCloud Photos will always keep local copies of the most recently used photos and videos in your library, as space permits, and the smaller thumbnail for each item, as they are needed for browsing. It is not possible to reduce the size of the local copy of your Photos Library completely -if you are lucky, it could shrink to 10% of the size in iCloud.
The only way to get the photos completely off your Mac would be to move your Photos Library to an external volume. See: Move your Photos library to save space on your Mac - Apple Support
If the external volume with the library is not connected, you can access the photos using the web interface at www.icloud.com . But it will be much less convenient than using the Photos.app.

Open Photos
Preferences > icloud
Enable iCloud photos (that will upload everything and sync your Mac)
Also select optimize Mac storage (originals will remain in the cloud and smaller files will be downlokeptaded on your device)
I do not need to keep copies in my MacBook Air even if they are smaller. Is that possible?
I just want to have photos in icloud and none of them in my MacBook Air? Is this feasible?
I do want to MOVE all my pictures from my MacBook Air to the cloud... and and not the other way round...... Help Please !!!
if photos are kept literally on the desktop , drag and drop them in the photo application .
