These are all words for talking about what sb/sth intends to do or achieve.以上各词均指意图、目的、目标。

Purpose is more usually the purpose of sth : you can talk about sb's purpose but that is more formal.

what you intend to do指打算、计划、意图:

I have no intention of going to the wedding.

Point is a more negative word than idea. If you say What's the point…? you are suggesting that there is no point; if you say What's the idea…? you are genuinely asking a question. Point , but not idea , is used to talk about things you feel annoyed or unhappy about.
