You can’t. iCloud is a syncing service, not an archiving service. If you don’t want to keep them on your phone you need an archiving service, such as Google Photos, Dropbox, box.com, shutterfly, Microsoft OneDrive, Livedrive, etc. All of these have apps for your iPhone that will archive automatically.
