I'm sure that is correct for many people, but as I said: to _me_ things taste better at around room temperature.

Even though I don't doubt your claim that some particles travel easier at higher degrees I suspect the difference is too small to notice before the rise in temperature becomes distracting to _me_.

Well, you know what's taste good and what's not - for you. You are the only judge for your own experience, and taste is an experience of the brain, not something out there. Nevertheless, most people do prefer hot meals, and there's scientifically explanation for that.
