On that same page are text boxes labeled “private key” and “certificate”. As the labels imply: those are your private key and certificate. And, as with all text boxes, you can copy and paste it’s contents.

Well, we can’t look into your computer, your phone, your Dropbox, your Google Drive, your OneDrive, your iCloud, your drawer of CDs and USB drives, your paper archives and your floor safe to check whether you actually backed up your certificate and private key. We don’t know whether you backed up the keys properly, so the notice is always shown there are a reminder. Did you back up your private key and certificate? Then hurrah! You did what the message said! So you can ignore it from now on!

Also, you don’t need to back up the CSR. The CSR is only required when issuing a new certificate, after that you can throw it away or regenerate it based on the private key.
