Remove a specific recovery point from Recovery service vault

No you can't do that.
This is not allowed either from Azure portal or from PowerShell and CLI.
I had a business requirement to move 8 years VM backup from Recovery Vault to Blob Storage.

It was completely a manual activity as Azure doesn't offer data migration from vault to storage.  We decided to remove restore point from vault as soon as we move the data to storage to reduce vault cost. 

This approach didn't stand since recovery service vault doesn't support deletion of restoration point. As an alternative we decided to modify BackUpPolicy and reduce retention period progressively in sync with data migration progress. Team who worked they started moving vault data from most old restoration pint to most recent point.
