A mapped function's arguments cannot be used in client-side operations

Question

I am trying to export Google Earth Engine images to Google drive using Google Earth Studio provided by the platform. There is an official guide to export images as following

// Load a landsat image and select three bands.
var landsat = ee.Image('LANDSAT/LC08/C01/T1_TOA/LC08_123032_20140515')
  .select(['B4', 'B3', 'B2']);

// Create a geometry representing an export region.
var geometry = ee.Geometry.Rectangle([116.2621, 39.8412, 116.4849, 40.01236]);

// Export the image, specifying scale and region.
Export.image.toDrive({
  image: landsat,
  description: 'imageToDriveExample',
  scale: 30,
  region: geometry
});

Above code works to export image, But I need to export images of specific coordinates so instead of

var landsat = ee.Image('LANDSAT/LC08/C01/T1_TOA/LC08_123032_20140515')
      .select(['B4', 'B3', 'B2']);

I am using following code,

var landsat = ee.ImageCollection("LANDSAT/LT05/C01/T1_SR")
var point = ee.Geometry.Point([73.0479, 33.6844]);

code executes successfully but when I try to run the task to complete the process I get following error,

A mapped function's arguments cannot be used in client-side operations

Can someone help me, what am I doing wrong here? Thank you

Couple things. First of all, where do you want to position your point? Because now it's positioned in the Arctic Sea. Second, your code works when I execute it, but as it exports an image with a 1x1 pixel of landsat in the Artic Sea, it's empty.. So you must be looking for something else. Since your landsat shows the area close to Bejing, I changed the ee.Point coordinate to match.

Do you want to export the landsat values just at this one point? Then try this:

// Load a landsat image and select three bands.
var landsat = ee.Image('LANDSAT/LC08/C01/T1_TOA/LC08_123032_20140515')
  .select(['B4', 'B3', 'B2']);
  
Map.addLayer(landsat, {}, 'landsat image')

// Create a geometry representing an export region.
var geometry = ee.Geometry.Rectangle([116.2621, 39.8412, 116.4849, 40.01236]);
var point = ee.Geometry.Point([116.5632, 40.2404]);

var LandsatAtPoint = landsat.reduceRegions({
    collection: point, 
    reducer: ee.Reducer.mean(),
    scale: 30 // resolution of the bands is 30m
  })
print(LandsatAtPoint)

// Export the image, specifying scale and region.
Export.table.toDrive({
  collection: LandsatAtPoint,
  description: 'imageToDriveExample',
});

It makes more sense to export the values of an image in a table format, instead of a 1x1 pixel image. Therefore I changed Export.image.toDrive to Export.table.toDrive
