Yes, 6.1 mp is adequate.
No, what matters most is not the lenses. That may have been true years ago when there was a noticeable difference between lenses, but not today. The most critical item in a digital camera is the sensor/software - the difference between photographs rendered by different sensors can be easily be seen by most people.
The Nikon D40 is a fine choice.
(BTW, the absolute most critical item in photography doesn't even have anything to do with the camera. It's the photographer's skill)
