Vocabulary

have (got) a point?

Hi. I came across the following dialogue:

A: We got a base. We can get this search properly organized now.
B: You got a point or are we just chatting?

I think I got the meaning, and it means something like "to have something important to say", but I'm not sure and haven't been able to find this meaning in dictionaries. Can you elaborate on this topic? What "a point" exactly means in this context?
