I suggest importing your photos to your Mac instead

You may want to import the images into Photos or iPhoto (if you still have it) on your computer and then delete from iCloud

iCloud Photo Library stores all of your original photos and videos in iCloud, but we always recommend you keep back up copies of your Library. You can download your photos and videos from iCloud to your computer and store them as a separate library, transfer them to another computer with Image Capture or Photos, or store them on a separate drive.
