I'm sorry, I didn't understand you post...
1) Why does my current implementation is not working? Hierarchy doesn't work with views in general, not only with dblink
2) Why am I supposed to use unions in the view?
3) I know that I am doing select * from tbl in the remote db; that is something I can work on later.
At least I would like to see it working, since there is nothing in the docs that says it shouldn't be working...
4) I am not able to rewrite my queries.

The partition exclusion _may_ work if you do something like:
create view as
select * from dblink/plproxy-from-part1 where part1 constraint
union all
select * from dblink/plproxy-from-part2 where part2 constraint
So if you do 'select * from view where constraint;' the postgres
will skip partitions which do not match. You may need to
define the setof function immutable or something... i'm not sure.
But any contraint exclusion wont change the fact you are
doing select * from tbl; in remote db, which makes the
exercise quite pointess IMHO.
I obviously would recommend pl/proxy for such task, but that
would expect you are able to write your queries. If you are
in situation where you don't control the queries, then plproxy
quite likely is not use.
