I don't think there's any way that you would get through the TSA screening checkpoint with a frozen water bottle even if you were able to argue that it's not a liquid but rather is a solid at the moment.
Scientifically, you'd be right...you should win...but I'm thinking you'd still lose.
In fact, I went and checked the TSA's regulations regarding checking ice through security...
Frozen liquid items are allowed through the checkpoint as long as they are frozen solid when presented for screening. If frozen liquid items are partially melted, slushy, or have any liquid at the bottom of the container, they must meet 3-1-1 liquids requirements.
I guess if you can get your frozen water bottle to the TSA screening checkpoint and have it still be 100% frozen, you can get through the checkpoint...but that's going to take some logistical work or an incredibly cold airport to make sure none of it has melted by then.
