Yes, Freeza does have a track record of making emotionally influenced decisions that ended up costing him, but there would be no room for error here, as any ki blast would probably incinerate every last one of Cell's cells.
One thing I find to be a bit vexing is how people in these debates act as though their interpretation is the only possible scenario, and that's really how you're coming off. Especially with statements like these in response to a very obvious joke.
You have no way to prove this claim. It's no more valid than anything I've stated. It's also just as valid as saying, nope, Freeza only vaporized most of his body. I could make up scenarios each time for Freeza failing to kill him, it's irrelevant to the possibility.

Freeza saw Dende healing them. Team Vegetto blitzes them. Stray blasts vaporize most of Cell, he comes back stronger, etc. Freeza throws a head on blast, neglects to fully kill him. There's plenty of possibilities here. The bolded portion of your statement is a claim. It's no more valid than me saying he would. You're drawing an inference from Freeza making a wise decision that's hardly comparable. We have no way to know the probability here, especially in a universe where the unlikely happens frequently.

How do we know he'll have that kind of luxury on an ongoing basis? Regardless, the amount of times he would need to go through that whole cycle to come even remotely close to Frieza-tier would be mind-boggling.
I. There's nothing to support he wouldn't. It's established he did once. If Goku can go to the Moon on his pole, there's nothing to say he couldn't do it again. This a similar circumstance. Until there's more information released about his zenkais, there's nothing definitive beyond his are relevant, whereas according to Daizenshuu 7, the Saiyans' were not.
II. We don't. It's an assumption that's neither true nor false. All we know is that he's an exception to the rule, which means he works differently in some way in that regard.
III. This is unsubstantiated. We have no idea how much Cell's zenkais differ. I can make up a mind-boggling amount of scenarios where it could happen, all just as likely as the last. There's simply not enough information to come to a definitive conclusion.

You're making assumptions and acting as if they're factual. Who said anything about a constant direct confrontation? For all Freeza knows, there are multiple Cells of varying battle powers.
Most Dragon Ball fans are incapable of making a logically sound argument.
