Yes, this is definitly the key point for Taichi. Especially when you consider that Harada's offer is legitimate one and was not exception, an issue that was argued back about Shinobu's A-qualification at 4th grade.
For all purpose, Taichi's two 2nd place would have earned him that promotion if he belongs in other club. But because of the local club tradition he can't, not Harada is willing to promote him and he turned it down show his determination that he would no longer turn away from his weakness.
Keep in mind his upbringing. Back when he lost to Arata in the school tournament. His mom noted that he shouldn't be in a competition where he can't win. I think that really is his issue at the end that on the outside he is great at everything but in reality he was only doing things that he was confident about .
