How can reduce iCloud mobile data consumption?

I'm on a cellular connection and must reduce my use of data. I turned off just hard iCloud on my Mac, but when I look at turn off data of Pixelmator, Pages, Mail, etc. I am notified that I will lose all data stored on my computer. I don't want to save the data to iCloud - I manage my backups separately using the other services and practices (local external drive, USB key, safe, dropbox, etc.).

Can I transfer my data locally so it is not removed when I change this setting? Why is Mail even store anything on iCloud when it is a local client? I don't like on the removal of files on iCloud so I don't want that they are synchronized between devices. I have two iPads as well, and between all three devices, there is a lot of data back and forth without reason. I have manually sync the iPad to the computer and back it up regularly.

iCloud seems to be the biggest offender of data.

Grateful for any advice.

Looks like you store documents on iCloud drive. You can save all your data files on your computer and disable iCloud drive and other features that you do not use.

For iCloud Mail, this is an account IMAP and must be enabled in order to use your email from apple.

Then explain exactly what data you store in iCloud? Notes, documents, etc.
