I wash my hands with the cool water that initially comes out?

Cool water? What about freezing water in the winter?

I am still waiting for the freezing water to come out of the tap.

Assuming your pipes are between the tap and the water heater, and the pipes run indoors, the water temperature will be close to room temperature - nowhere near freezing.
