If you have synced your photos to iCloud, then you need not upload but deleting your photos on iPhone will delete them on your iCloud too.
Consider, uploading to Cloud Drives (iCloud Drive, Google Drive, OneDrive, DropBox, Flickr, box, AmazonDrive etc)
What exactly you want to achieve?
Backup: To protect your data from loss, a copy of your device data is kept in a encrypted / coded form. Can be used in case of upgrade to new iPhone or loss of iPhone etc.. by Restoring.
Import: Transfer & Store on Mac / PC / External HDD for long-term (Risk of HDD corruption / malfunctioning)
Sync: Keep your Photos / data visible and available on all devices that you access to. If you have synced your photos to iCloud, then deleting your photos on iPhone will delete them on your iCloud too.
Upload: (iCloud Drive, Google Drive, OneDrive, DropBox, Flickr, box, AmazonDrive etc) : Long term data storage with full data protection. Access from anywhere any time
Archive: Make copies of the information that you use with iCloud. You might want to make a copy of the information you keep in iCloud. If you accidentally delete an important contact, email, or document, you can restore it from iCloud or from another copy that you have.
