When meeting Bo-Katan and her crew, he was ready to go to battle against three true Mandalorians because they removed their helmets. At that same time, he faced the harsh reality that not only was he not a Mandalorian by creed but that the creed in which he dedicated his life was created by an offshoot extremist group. And yet he still refused to remove his helmet, even after being told it was okay by the true heir to the Mandalorian throne.
But when it came to saving Grogu, he not only joined Migs on the journey but also removed his helmet, in clear view of not only Migs but the Imperial Security Bureau.
Din's journey is becoming more and more like that of Luke and (cough) Rey's because it was nearly half a lifetime before they discovered their true heritage and destiny.
Personally, I found that to be very powerful.

I was referring mainly to the "Empire stealing Grogu" narrative that has been moving the plot forward since E1, but I do understand your point. It was an important episode for his own development as a character.
