I have had this issue for a long time now and it seriously is annoying me. I have seen multiple, NUMEROUS, posts about the red notification dot on the emoji for the Samsung keyboard. All having the same issue. It. Does. Not. Go. Away. I see moderators constantly "help" with the same auto response info message. To look at the emotes that are there, which are causing the red notification dot. And I do that. I clicked EVERY. SINGLE. EMOJI. I clicked every color variation as well for those emojis. And the dots still DO NOT GO AWAY. 

They say it is not a bug. And this is an intended feature. But it clearly is a bug. I've gone through the directions, the instructions, etc. I have followed what they say. It just does not go away.

And so help me if I get the same auto response message without any actual help. I have already followed the directions from that message. It doesn't do anything.

And just in case you need to know what auto response directions it is that doesn't work, I will include that image as well.

I have seen that dot before and when I tap on the option that has the dot, and then go back to the keyboard, it will go away.

Tap the 3 dots at the top right of the keyboard > Settings (gear icon). Open any options that have a dot in there (if any), and then go back to the keyboard to see if it persists.

I have done this and there is none. It is the emojis that have the blue notification dot when I open my emojis on my keyboard. But I have clicked all of them as well as each and every color variation. And it doesn't go away

The blue dots mean that there are multiple variations of that emoji. If you long-press the emoji, it will give you other options.

Okay, try this (it worked for me)

Click the Emoji with the red dot.
Scroll the top bar to the left.
See if there is another red dot.
If yes, click on it.

There wasn't any red dots in the top bar. I even tried adding other emote/sticker packs that I didn't have selected (which were in the settings at the end of the bar). And there still wasn't any red dot to click

Baffling, You probably already did, but have you tried to Clear Data and Cache?

If you mean clearing the cache for the Samsung keyboard, then yeah I just did that. Still didn't get rid of it.

I have the same problem. When I click on that emoji icon I get the Galaxy AI writing or drawing assist button. I have turned that off in three places on my phone and will not get rid of it. I have tried moving it down to the far end of the scroll bar or toolbar and that doesn't work either. I'm seriously going out of my mind having to look at that red dot every time I text someone. Did you find anything out?
