"(é) que" is just a way to enphasize that YOU are the one who have to thank, not the other person.
It can be used when someone thank you for something you did but you want to be modest.
It's like in English say:
Person 1 - Thank you!
Person 2 - No problem! I'm the who have to thank you here!
Portuguese:
Person 1 - Obrigado!
Person 2 - Eu (é) que agradeço! ('é' can be dropped with no change of meaning).
It would be wrong and quite odd if you just said "eu agradeço" as a reply for "obrigado".
