I'd like to check with you whether my examples are right
1) I heard of a man critical of what you have written.
2) I saw a man capable of lifting a truck.
3) I met a man confident of flying a kite.
4) I appeased my daughter bored of reading books.
5) I promised my daughter scared of an injection that I will buy ice cream for her after the treatment.
6) I bought a figure for my son interested in Super Man.
7) I was happy looking at my daughter surprised at a sudden present.
I'd like to check with you whether my examples are right, especially the phrases in bold.
Thank you in advance for your help.

The following are okay:
1. I heard of a man who is critical of what you have written. (Who is is needed.)
2. I saw a man capable of lifting a truck. (Original sentence is okay.)
3. I met a man who was confident of flying a kite. (Who was is needed.)
4. I appeased my daughter who was bored with reading books. (Who was is needed. Bored with instead of of.

We usually omit the objective relative pronouns like which, whom, or that.
We sometimes omit the complement relative pronouns like which, who, or that.
But we can't arbitrary omit the subjective relative pronouns like which, who, or that except for some exceptions.
And we can never omit the relative pronouns 'what'

Thank you no name one for your elaborate answer.
Can't the adjectives which need "who be" be used as the restrictive use?

Couldn't you think #7 as "I was happy
7) I was happy looking at my daughter surprised at a sudden present.
I was happy to see my daughter's surprise at the unexpected present. (Wording needs to be changed.)

"I was happy while looking at my daughter surprised at a sudden present." is not right. The phrase "I was happy" is not used like this. "my daughter surprised" is not a valid phrase in English. "a sudden present" is not used in English.

"I saw a man capable of lifting a truck." is correct. However, "I heard of a man critical of what you have written." is not right. In this instance, you have to put in the "who": "I heard of a man who is critical of what you have written." The "who" in this type of construction cannot always be omitted.

I see that my examples are clumsy and awkward, but how about a point of vi

Where the "who" can be omitted and where it has to be put in is determined by the situation, and these have to be learned by experience, as there is no rule that can cover every situation.
"It is a play productive of the strongest emotions." is not right. The word "productive" is not used like this. You'd say instead something like:
It is a play that produces the strongest em
