Is it necessary to warm up the car in the morning until the cold temp light goes away?
Yes its good for engine performance
Alright!
has been discussed a million timesmodern engines & modern oils expired myths no warmup required
Just give the engine 15-20 seconds for the oil to circulate and then drive away slowly. Modern engines don't need warm up time.

Today I did the same. Gave the engine 30-40 seconds and then started driving at slow speed and low rpm
