When importing data via Power BI Desktop, it'll always refresh all required data that is needed for your data model. However, what you can do is set an incremental refresh policy and publish the model to a workspace. What it'll do is create partitions for you and only refresh the latest x amount based on your policy.
You may find more info on that here:

Hope that helps!
