It's actually helping reduce initial site load by serving as a preloader of sorts. Other than that; I like to think about it more as a cover to a book or an introduction of sorts.
I totally understand from a technical perspective, but I agree that it feels like a splash screen, which in the instance of a highly polished and modern site, doesn't really work. The difference between a click and a scroll could fix the feeling of it being a splash screen, just a thought...overall tho, totally stunning site + work!

The splash page doesn't seem to serve too much of a purpose. On the left-hand side once you're through, it has the same text.
