Hello, tell me how you can in the illustrator remove a point on the curve so that it retains its shape as in CorelDraw?

You can try the Smooth Tool which is nested with the Tool panel with the Shaper Tool. The Smooth Tool can smooth out a path with a bunch of points and/or remove unnecessary points. How to edit and reshape paths in Illustrator

Use plugins such as VectorScribe

You could also try Object > Path > Simplify in Illustrator. Select that one point and then call that function. Maybe it works.

I wanted to do without the use of plug-ins Astute, but probably it is impossible

The Convert Anchor Point tool will remove the handles from a point and removethe curve between two points, creating a straight line. Left-click and hold onto the “Pen Tool” option in the left menu until a drop-down appears. Select the “Convert Anchor Point Tool” from the drop-down menu.
