### Your CF7 form code

Your form shortcode can stay as it is. In particular, this is correct:

```text
[date* data class:appointment-input]
```

So you **do not need to change the form markup** just to fix the date picker.

The important changes I made are:

- Removed the duplicate date-picker CSS.
- Kept `appearance: auto`.
- Explicitly enabled `pointer-events`.
- Explicitly enabled the native calendar indicator.
- Removed unnecessary conflicting date rules.
- Kept the native browser date picker rather than trying to create a custom one.
- Added a slightly larger date control on mobile.

Your original CSS already contained multiple date-picker declarations, including the later `appearance: auto` and `pointer-events: auto` rules.

**After replacing the CSS, clear your WordPress/site cache and browser cache and test again.** If the calendar still doesn't open after this, then I would look at JavaScript/theme interference rather than adding more CSS./* End custom CSS */
