At what point is a person a man/woman according to the Bible?

You mean, at what point does a boy/girl become adult?

Jewish practice was to regard puberty as an important factor, especially for girls.

For men 20 years old (Exodus 30:14) and 30 years old (Numbers 4:3) were important maturity milestones.

20 isnt the age of accountability. I accepted Christ at age 14.

I didn't say it was. I said that, for men 20 years old (Exodus 30:14) and 30 years old (Numbers 4:3, 1 Chronicles 23:3) were important maturity milestones. For example:
  • Joseph was thirty years old when he entered the service of Pharaoh
  • Saul was thirty years old when he became king
  • David was thirty years old when he became king
  • Jesus was about thirty years old when He began His ministry
You might be accountable at age 13, but not mature enough to be a king.

A maturity mildstone doesnt make one adult.Adult - Wikipedia
Biologically, an adult is a human or other organism that has reached sexual maturity. In human context, the term adult additionally has meanings associated with social and legal concepts. In contrast to a "minor", a legal adult is a person who has attained the age of majority and is therefore regarded as independent, self-sufficient, and responsible. The typical age of attaining adulthood is 18, although definition may vary by legal rights and country.

You keep responding to things I didn't say. I think further discussion is pointless.

What is the bibical definition of adult?
