You said: "
So that I understand that you are really checking, and not rejecting because "I'm in a bad mood today".
Of course, I can't influence moderation. But I want to understand what the "rules of the game" really are." You are not addressing Adobe directly here, nor any of its Moderators, and will not receive a reply from them here. We are a community of fellow Contributors, with experience looking at thousands of rejected images, so we have a pretty good idea of what constitutes an acceptable level of quality.
These drawings are full of AI drawing errors, which to some extent might be acceptable in an artistic painting, but in this case, the details are just too flawed. For example:
By the way, png file format is to be used only for transparent images. These should have been submitted as jpg's.

It is a waste of time to send an inquiry to Adobe about review delays. You will always receive a canned response.

Underexposed and too tightly cropped. Leave some space around the edges. A Buyer can always crop out unwanted space, but it's much more difficult to extend the image...

Real eggs are not oval shaped; one end is always more pointed than the other. Indeed, it is not hard to find flawed images in the Adobe stock database, but that's no reason for them to continue accepting images with flaws. As AI capabilities improve and Moderators acquire more training, the quality expectations compared to AI submissions a year ago are more stringent.

I agree with @jacquelingphoto2017 about the unnatural colors which are somewhat over saturated.

Zoom in and inspect carefully. The AI drawing errors are not difficult to spot in these images...

A few AI drawing errors noted. Some of the eggs don't appear to be egg-shaped.

Do you have an Adobe Stock Subscription? That's the only way you can license an image. Anyway, the guidelines prohibit you from licensing your own assets.

That checkbox also applies to images that seem to mimic property, such as buildings and sculpture, particularly if the image can be considered photo-realistic.

In the image with 4 backpacks, the pink backpack seems to be just a flipped version of the other pink backpack. Such orientstion changes provide no additional value to Buyers.

It slightly underexposed in the shadows, however the main issue is that zoomed in even just a bit, the tree line is blurry. The 1/3 second shutter speed may have been cause for this, as few people can hold a camera steady for that long. The very narrow f-stop, f25, wasn't really necessary for such a landscape scene. Should have been more like f8 or f10.

The bears are really cute, and with a few minor edits, I'm sure they would be accepted. This one has inconsistent button eyes.

Regarding the second image, I think the Moderator chose the wrong reason code. It should have been rejected for quality issues, as the focus is rather soft and there is visible noise in the sky.

There is at least one sign on a building in the first image; also, images that have one building as the focal point can result in an IP claim.

Surely you saw the message when you submitted your assets that wait time can be up to 8 weeks??? In fact, many images are reviewed quicker than 8 weeks, but there are also many Contributors reporting that they've waited for months. Review time is unpredictable, and there's nothing we can do to hasten the review of our assets. Be patient.

Read the Adobe Stock Contributor Agreement before you go any further. Editing and uploading images that you found somewhere online is a big NO.

I'm quite certain that the first place the Moderators look is the hands. Then the teeth, eyes, hair, and other anatomy. It would have taken them just seconds to press the reject button on each of these. You must zoom in 100-200% and carefully inspect every area of your I,ages before submitting. If you can't correct the AI drawing errors, discard the image and move on.

The legs and feet definitely need more careful inspection. The Depth of Field doesn't really make sense on most of these. Random areas are in focus and out of focus.

We have seen repeated reports here and in the Discord server for years that Adobe simply refers requests back to the help pages or here to this forum. If they gave every Contributor the chance to dispute the findings of the Moderators, reviews would grind to a halt. Your icon here indicates that you are a "Community Beginner" so it seems that your experience on Adobe Stock's processes might not extend back very far.
Here's what the rejection reason says: It doesn't say "contact us and we'll take another look...."
