point taken

I concede that

Point taken is an acknowledgment that someone's argument or criticism has landed—you accept their reasoning, at least for the moment.

It concedes the validity of what was said without necessarily agreeing with everything: Point taken, but I still think we should wait.

The phrase often signals a willingness to move on rather than argue further.
