I think you're fine! But just to try and deconstruct... similar phrasing:
> Yes... that's the entire point of xyz -_-;
...is semi-frequently used to imply "what you said is obvious" with a sort of... dismissive undertone, which might've been what miles was reacting to. Breaking the phrase up a bit more and making it a bit more casual/chipper somehow feels harder to misinterpret this way? Even without resorting to emoji as I have here:
> Yep! That's the point of xyz :)
But I could see myself using your phrasing as a native speaker, so I wouldn't worry about it too much ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
