You can make the setpoint schedules whatever you want for that first day, so in that way you can control what it converges on, but if you make a drastic change in the setpoints after day 1, it defaults what the warmup days are trying to do, so you may get unexpected results.
One main reason you can't just tell EnergyPlus what initial condition to start with and skip the warmup days is because you don't set surface temperatures; they are calculated based on the environmental conditions.
