    I think the argument for keeping your dragonmark is the RAW one, actually.

    Obviously you remain part of your house by undergoing the Rite, so the only question is whether you remain part of the appropriate race. We know 'appropriate race' means something like 'lightfoot halfling specifically' or 'high elf specifically', and you continue to count as such for prerequisites, so why wouldn't you be able to keep the mark?

    The default argument against subtype alone not being enough draws on the PGtE quote above, but that doesn't apply here: a dragonborn lightfoot halfling isn't a different subrace than a lightfoot halfling.
