The photos that you deleted on your phone, that are still in iCloud will be re-synced to your iPad once you re-enable iCloud Photos again.
If you really want to save photos but not have them on your phone, I recommend that you back them up to your computer. And I don't mean sync them using iCloud. I mean import them to your computer using a cable.
Transfer photos and videos from your iPhone or iPad to your Mac or PC - Apple Support
You can then back them up to an external hard drive. They will be completely unaffected by what you do with iCloud.
iCloud Drive is a synchronization service, so if you delete some photos on the iPad then they will be deleted on Icloud and any other device that you have logged into iCloud
