I started out with what's wrong with Relina? Heero is a teenager who was trained since childhood by mad scientists to carry out missions and kill anyone in the way. Let's not even get into suicidal tendencies and how many times he's blown himself up. That's toxic behavior for anyone to be around, mission or not.

I'm not saying Heero is a static character throughout the show. I agree Relina is my main issue, in her constant pursuit. To an extent I believe Heero even knows he is toxic to be around, and avoids her.

If Heero was interested in a relationship and psychologically abusing/manipulating Relina, I'd agree.
But his attitude is more of, "leave me the fuck alone, crazy lady" / "My training says to kill her, but I can't... damn it..."
So I just don't think it's fair to call him toxic when he's pretty clear and up front on his stance w/ her and it isn't some ploy to make her want him or anything.

He's also still a minor and trained since a small child to end himself rather than allow himself and his tech to fall into enemy hands, so it seems pretty callous to blame him for his "suicidal tendencies". Blame the scientists that trained them. They may have been desperate, but they still brainwashed child soldiers to do their bidding, basically.
