You would say:
They are three toys that I like
They are the three toys that I like the most.
The three toys that I like the most are these.
They are three toys I like most.
They are the three toys that I liked most.
Your relative clause of characteristic:
"that I like the most"
must agree with the predicate clause it modifies. In your original sentences #1 and #2, your relative clause is of the the form: subject verb article noun (most used as a noun, see dictionary entry). The word "the" preceding "most" turns "most: into a noun. Here, "the most" is more closely associated with "the toys." If you take out "the" before "most", "most" becomes something of an adverb describing how you liked.
Be sure to check your sentences for parallelism when editing.

They are the three toys I like the most. The "three" is the object and needs an article (the) to support it.
