The locale setting in the Options -> Language is to set the defaults that are
used in documents. While I agree the override for the decimal separator there
is mostly useless and needs to be fixed, I don't think changing that is that
important for what you want to do.

If you have a document that needs to use mixed locales (Portuguese, English)
then you can change the locale on per cell basis as a cell format. If you do
this a lot then create a cell style with a English(USA) (or whatever you want)
and use that at places where you need the English formatted numbers. 

This is not ideal, but it will work fine for your use case. Ideally it should
be possible to override the decimal and thousands separator in the cell format
independent of what the locale is - similar like you can change the currency
symbol. Probably we should look into this if it is possible to implement (might
be a limitation of ODF format).
