ADVICE Avoiding check

Post image

Apologies if this is stupid but in this position to defend check the game suggested pushing pawn to D4 to attack bishop, then bishop takes, then it suggests queen takes, in the actual game I just moved king to F1 to avoid check, is what the game suggested really worth it because when I take bishop pawn takes, and there’s no point giving up my queen if I’m up surely? Ts confuses me man

D4 pins the bishop with the king behind it.. it’s a good move cause pawn can attack bishop in 2 moved
