Well, this all depends.
I don't think it would have mattered once he had all the funds donated as they could not let that donor money go to waste once it was in the Biden/Harris campaign. She HAD to be the candidate at that point because Dems are fully run by their donors and that donor money under no circumstances could be allowed to be refunded.
That said, I think Biden in his anger about being pushed out immediately endorsed Harris to checkmate Pelosi and her team. Proof of his objective is that he still hasn't even spoken to her since he was replaced without his consent if all reports are true.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., pointed the finger at President Biden for not dropping out of the race earlier in an election post-mortem with the New York Times Thursday.
Pelosi told host Lulu Garcia-Navarro on The Times' "The Interview" podcast, "Had the president gotten out sooner, there may have been other candidates in the race."
As the former speaker told it, "The anticipation was that, if the president were to step aside, that there would be an open primary." Pelosi had been a key player in pushing Biden out after his infamous debate performance.
Instead, within an hour of announcing he was stepping aside on July 21, Biden endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris. Less than 36 hours later, she announced she had locked up the nomination, getting commitments of backing from a majority of DNC delegates.
