If this is the only bathing you do, I would think all the fatty and oily residue particularly on the face, neck and chest would be harder to wash off. That's kind of the point of a hot shower, IMO. Still, I do experience the aftereffects of a cold shower and I think it's useful to do from time to time. But every day? Ew!

If you shower every day and use a soap, you will be clean no matter the water temperature. Hygiene is a matter of good habits and ethic.

True but it's more scrubby. Soap usually has an emulsifying agent that breaks up fat molecules but there's still a physical component to it. If you want your cold showers you can keep your cold showers!

Your skins natural oils are healthy. I wonder if some of the health benefits of cold showers come from not scouring all your bodies natural oils off everyday.
