The planner doesn't know anything about the behavior of %.
Heed the fine manual's advice:

    Keep the partitioning constraints simple, else the planner may not be
    able to prove that partitions don't need to be visited. Use simple
    equality conditions for list partitioning, or simple range tests for
    range partitioning, as illustrated in the preceding examples. A good
    rule of thumb is that partitioning constraints should contain only
    comparisons of the partitioning column(s) to constants using
    B-tree-indexable operators.
