There is no option to do that with iCloud Photos. It is a syncing service and will sync all photos. You can potentially reduce the storage needed on the iPhone (or both or with device) by turning on the Optimize Storage option on the device. See the information in Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support

An alternative option would be to import the photos from the iPhone to the computer. See the Import sections of Transfer photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or PC - Apple Support for information.
