Actually, I don't agree.

If you'd like to change the upper chord to D A D then that's fine. But what you have on beat 5 works because the preceeding chord is a V4 chord and
2
chord resolves without issue. Your leading tone, C# resolves naturally leading up to the tonic, your Supertonic can resolve up to the 3rd scale degree or down to the 1st scale degree which in this case it has resolved down, and your Dominant (A) could have remained to create I6 as you mentioned but leading the A up to B gives the resolution/cadence a decpetive feeling which you continue to resolve onward.
