From Zero is what redefines what Subaru is going to do in the world. It's literally in the name, that moment is why Subaru is capable of tackling the Betelgeuse menace and the whole situation in Arc 4. Sure, Emilia's gesture of kindness was important, but realize that just merely taking him in wasn't some big ass turning point. He was still stuck in his own mindset, the mindset that led him to isolation in Japan. From a character development standpoint and a plot standpoint, this is not quantifiable as a pivotal moment. From Zero is by far the most pivotal moment in the entire series for Subaru when looking at how it transforms Subaru into the Subaru we know of in the later arcs. Like yeah Emilia helping Subaru lays the groundwork but it doesn't change Subaru so significantly that his behavior and methods drastically change.
