This is by design. The following fragment from startup.el should explain
why:
;; Run the site-start library if it exists. The point of this file is
;; that it is run before .emacs. There is no point in doing this after
;; .emacs; that is useless.
(if site-run-file
(load site-run-file t t))
;; Sites should not disable this. Only individuals should disable
;; the startup message.
(setq inhibit-startup-message nil)
;; Load that user's init file, or the default one, or none.
As you see, the startup code forcefully resets inhibit-startup-message
after it loads site-start.el, to prevent site administrators from doing
exactly what you wanted to do.
