Partner's argument was that with something like Axx in diamonds, he'd bid 2D.

That doesn't make sense, it's almost always better or at least ok to put overcaller on lead. (Partner's Jx is a potential second stopper with overcaller on lead, etc.) And even if he'd do that, there is still a world of difference between ♦AKQ and ♦AQ.

If 2♦ would be the only forcing bid below game, I think I'd have still chosen it here if it would make the auction GF.
