What you want to do for this kind of game, is not directly change the transform of the ball but change the velocity of the rigidbody.

Set friction to 0 in the rigidbody of the ball and lock the movements of the panels.

Have a script that detects if the ball collides with the panel, on collision delete the panel and let the physics response do the work.

Set the physics material of the ball/walls/panels to an elastic collision.

If you want to add some speed when the ball hits a panel/player, increment/alter the velocity or apply a force to the rigidbody.

The player should not be static. Static is used to optimize non moving GameObjects. The player should have a its rigidbody x and y positions locked and moved with a script on user input. Lock the rigidbody under constraints in the inspector.

Hope this helps!
