This filler/cliche/ idiom means 'in all the most important ways':
-For all intents and purposes, the project is completed.
-For all intents and purposes the case is closed.
-To all intents and purposes the Vice-President is the chief executive while the President is in hospital .
This, dating from the 1500s, originated in English law, where it was 'to all intents, constructions, and purposes'. A shorter synonym is 'in effect'.
The phrase is probably more of an idiom, I suppose. What would be the best Greek equivalent - ουσιαστικά?
