Im afraid that you are not going to be able to avoid the points at court so you are better off taking the fixed penalty.
The court don't have any sympathy when the insurance is cancelled due to a mix up on your behalf. The court will only consider using their discretion to find special reasons not to put the points on if you can show that the cancellation was not your fault.
Sorry, but you would simply get higher fines and court costs if you fight the matter.
