There has to be a setting, somewhere in either your Gallery, Google Photos, or in Settings (backup and restore), that is syncing your deletions. If you can find that setting and turn it off, then you should be able to delete photos from your phone and retain the archive in Google Photos. Just a thought.
Try opening Google Photos in a web browser (or on a different device) and deleting them from that. If you delete them from the app on your phone it will delete your local copy as well - I don't believe there is any option in the app to change this (bad design, but Google obviously don't consider "delete Google's copy while keeping my own" to be something people should want to do).
That's a good reason not to keep using Google photos.

All my online photos are deleted from the desktop web site, I trippled check it yesterday as well though, I think that most of the world wanted to pay their price by using Google photos, why would almost every time I ask not to they wanted to steal it from the cellphone?
