It is documented in the manual that this does not work.

    Note that setting `inhibit-startup-screen' in `site-start.el'
    doesn't work, because the startup screen is set up before reading
    `site-start.el'.

It is also mentioned in the doc-string:

  This is for use in your personal init file (but NOT site-start.el)

A comment in startup.el explains why:
