If you wish to delete items from just your iPad without affecting other devices, ensure that you have disabled the Apps and Apple Services that you do not wish to synchronise with (and from) the iPad.
On your iPad:
Settings > [Your Name / AppleID] > iCloud - explicitly disable the Apps and Services that you do not wish to synchronise.
Apps and services that you disable will not synchronise deletions with your Mac and iPhone.
