'Such' can work several different ways in a sentence. In the example you gave, it means something like "I don't think that's a very good idea." To my ears, it makes the sentence a little softer.

The meaning is as Carl said. Here is the explanation: "Such" is used for making a comparison. It's like saying, I don't think that idea is as good as it could be. It's a more polite way of saying I don't think it's a good idea.
