What would you do-BD says he wants out

I'm 90% sure he is just overreacting because he doesn't think before he speaks when he is upset. But last I heard from him, he does not want me to contact him, he says he will pay CS and insurance, but does not want to pick up our daughter anymore. All over money and taxes.
I agreed to let him claim our daughter every other year. We were never married. We weren't even together when our daughter was born. But I figured, why not?
(I'm sort of familiar with tax so I hope how I explain this isn't confusing.)
I signed the form for him to claim her exemption this year. I always file my taxes early. So when he went to file he said he couldn't claim her because I used her SSN on my taxes. I sent him pictures (we live 2+ hrs away) where my taxes say I didn't claim her as a dependant but I could still claim a credit (EITC) as Head of Household having her as my nondependant this year. I explained that he cannot claim Head of Household because she does not live with him 6+ months of the year, so that credit would not be able to be claimed by him regardless.
He was under the impression that he would get the entirety of all the credits by claiming her. (When in reality, the form allows him to claim her exemption and the Child Tax Credit.)
So basically he told me to cut him a check for what I am receiving via tax return and/or he will not pick our daughter up again.
Obviously I am not writing him a check. But how do I go about the situation if he does not see her, doesn't see her for a while and changes his mind, etc. This isn't the first time he's threatened not picking her up because he doesn't get his way (one time it was just because he wanted her longer than we had agreed and I said no. "Then keep her" I believe he said.)
We have a court verified parenting agreement that specifies when we drop off and pick up. What happens if this is violated?
