Morphology
The meaning 'information that is essential' is directly and compositionally derived from 'critical' (extremely important) modifying 'data' (information). This simple ADJ+NOUN pattern is cross-linguistically common and therefore a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Critical data comes from the idea of critical meaning a very important moment and data meaning facts or numbers. So imagine a doctor who needs exact numbers in a life or death case. Those facts are 'essential' because decisions depend on them.
