The header to the function (which you can see by evaluating
my.3dplot$points3d) is
function (x, y = NULL, z = NULL, type = "p", ...)
so you are setting x to seq(400,600,0.19), y to seq(600,400,0.295), etc.
I think you probably want
my.3dplot$points3d(x=c(400, 600, ...),
y=c(600, 400, ...),
z=c(0.19, 0.295, ...), ...)
(where the ... is to be filled in by you.)

try
my.3dplot$points3d(x=400, y=600, z=0.19, col="blue", type="h", pch=16)
