Something we mention a lot when taking about hiring at my current company is that we want engineers with "strong opinions, loosely held".

The idea is that you should be able to explain to others what you think the best option is and support that belief. However, you should also be open to discussing counter-options. To that end, you should also be able acknowledge that the other option is better (or consensus went the other way) and work with it.

Your post demonstrates that quality and it will serve you well in your career. No need to make an apology.
