You can pass this keyword to the function so that you can identify the closest li element of the clicked checkbox:

function myfunction(el){
  if(el.checked){
    el.closest('li').classList.add('cut');
  }
  else{
    el.closest('li').classList.remove('cut');
  }
}

.cut{
  text-decoration: line-through;
  opacity: 0.4;
}

#mylist{list-style: none;}

<div class="container">
  <ul id="mylist">

    <li class="mycheck">
      <input type="checkbox" class="status" onclick="myfunction(this)" >
      <label class="mytodo">make tea</label>
    </li>

    <li class="mycheck">
      <input type="checkbox" class="status" onclick="myfunction(this)">
      <label class="mytodo">notes making</label>
    </li>

    <li class="mycheck">
      <input type="checkbox" class="status" onclick="myfunction(this)">
      <label class="mytodo">set clothes</label>
    </li>

  </ul>

</div>

Attaching event using JavaScript:

var checkboxes = document.querySelectorAll('.mycheck .status');
checkboxes.forEach(function(chk){
  chk.addEventListener('click', function(){
    myfunction(this);
  });
})
function myfunction(el){
  if(el.checked){
    el.closest('li').classList.add('cut');
  }
  else{
    el.closest('li').classList.remove('cut');
  }
}

.cut{
  text-decoration: line-through;
  opacity: 0.4;
}

#mylist{list-style: none;}

<div class="container">
  <ul id="mylist">

    <li class="mycheck">
      <input type="checkbox" class="status" >
      <label class="mytodo">make tea</label>
    </li>

    <li class="mycheck">
      <input type="checkbox" class="status">
      <label class="mytodo">notes making</label>
    </li>

    <li class="mycheck">
      <input type="checkbox" class="status">
      <label class="mytodo">set clothes</label>
    </li>

  </ul>

</div>
