No, you should have taken the Knight.
What is the point of this

Nope. After Bxd5, white is completely winning.
Normally, play should continue 6... Kxf7, 7. Qf3+ Kd6 where white has a very threatening attack. Theory has shown that black can stave it off with near-perfect play and emerge with a slightly better position, but I imagine for a beginner that it's scary.
Also, nowadays, after 5. exd5, black's main choice has been 5... Na5!? wherein a pawn is sacrificed for a lot of tempi.
Kxf7 Qf3+
