The thing is, good design practice tend to avoid doing things with pixel as
the measurement units, for the reason explained in this thread.
For example, if your display is set to a specific DPI, having a pixel
settings in libreoffice would allow you to set the text exactly like you
want... but if someone browsing your website have another settings, your
text will be all off for this user.
For those reason i don't think it make much sense to add a "pixel" unit in
LibreOffice, as it will be dependant of a given DPI setting anyway. For your
issue, you might want to either translate your "pixel" settings in cm (or
anything) while editing the document, or properly design your site to use
those unit instead of fixed pixel settings...
